A "free of charge" internet is an illusion, because running a internet network requires significant human as energy resources which are not "free" available on any market. A "free of charge" in the meaning of "free of money charge" works usually in two ways:

 - the user have to "pay" with other "goods" - i.e. his personal data and/or awareness/lifetime (i.e. to consume ads or similiar)

 - the service has to be paid by others which wont use that service (or won't use the ressources they have to pay for)

btw: There still ARE networks / projects offering "money cost free" or "cost free" internet services on a commercial and even private / non-commercial level which are by principle available around the globe. I.e. paying broadband customers are offering "free" hot spot networks or meshed network access against each other  constributor and/or "external" users (he spend bandwidth for "free" to others). There is no government required which generates additional costs for others and destroys free markets of IP access services.

And not at least:
There is no "internet access" type or service nor access media for "all" as usage profiles highly differ and differentiation is rising more and more. 

A "public free" service must cover most or any of them to be "network neutral" on a minimum level - but even this would be just overkill.

If YOU mean that "many" others would an autonomous system / internet access network system providing "free" service in a kind you and your colleagues want it you are free to found an non commercial or commercial organisation which builds that network and runs it "for free" for you or the ones who want it "free" while others in your  organisation are "free" to pay for you.

This is freedom - pressing others to pay for you would be robbery instead even if you do it with a "democratic majority" against any minority in your country.


cheerioh,


Niels.
