Actually, I just rewrote it in my mind to read “DSL”, and ignored the existence of satellite. This was illogical on my part. There ought to be more definition, more constraints on the minimum level of internet access service mentioned.
I agree, Netflix is not essential to most people, or possibly to anyone. I rely on the Internet for entertainment to keep me from going mad with boredom, but my circumstances are unusual, and “essential” us an ill-defined concept.
Nevertheless, I approve of the spirit behind the bill, if not the details.
