"We believe the WWW exists because of entertainment" : WHAAAT!!!???: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web
Of course it does!
You think god-knows how many bytes of information traversing the internet is people doing productive things or tele-medicine (the often quoted justification for ever faster and ever more bandwidth?) Isn't something like 40% of internet traffic in the US Netflix?
For all its productive possibilities, once it became mainstream, the internet is the biggest time-sink ever invented.
The amazing things is that internet mega-corporations have convinced governments to pay for that infrastructure to further their businesses at the expense of things like health care, education, and other infrastructure.
And just try to get the internet-addicted population off it now! Impossible! They'll happily hand over their taxes and personal money. Until they get sick, and their health system sucks, or their kids can't pay for an education, or it their train system is a mess, and traffic jams due to a lack of planning and maintainance on these things. Then its "where are my taxes going..?"
