I hope they translate it correctly all over the world.
We don’t want folks around the globe to think that Obama believes that Internet should be free (don’t have to pay for it)
If the government will give us “free” internet, it won’t be “open” for long.
I don’t trust Obama, but I can recognize him using a standard phrase like “free and open.” Obama’s statement was fluff, with pretty much no connection to anything he may actually intend to do.
‘free and open’- much like ‘hope and change’ - it can mean anything you want it to mean.

This is a disguised way to kill all the ISP's and phone companies and seriously monitor activity. Just what they want, government assigned email addresses and accounts. Yumm! That should temper blog posts, huh?
In that case, I also want a free computer to utilize the interwebs! (really, is a sarc tag required?)
Hell no. “Free” means that the government owns it, ragulates it and can shut it down...
Well,......
He has taken over about 60% of the American economy, so why not take over another 20%, to make it a nice round number,....say like 80%? The rest will follow all by themselves.
Then of course, comes the plan to end term limits on the office of the President. (Even Hitler still dreamed of his Reich right up the moment he put the pistol to his temple.)
Free? What’s next ? Free housing, food, wine, women and song? And who’s going to PAY for “free”? That would me me and thee...and thee, and thee....
I'm sorry - you don't understand.
You, ClearCase-guy are one of the people who's going to PAY for the 'free' for others.... You don't GET 'free', you supply it for others. Got it? ( Oh, and forget about the mansion and yacht - dems have more on their list than just free internet....
I’m with you on that fact.
