Allowing more people to have access to the internet doesn't seem to be a bad thing, it really depends on whether or not the cost of tax increases outweighs the bonus of having more people connected to the internet.
More resources are always good but if the gov't pays X price for a good or service than competitiveness never enters the markets, thus it keeps prices at X or above.
The reason computers get better while prices keep going down is because producers keep trying to reach as yet unrealized markets through cost competition.
The gov't can only ruin that.
