It is generally witnessed that an ample amount of governmental investment money is being poured into the amelioration of the Internet supply. Although there are reasons for doing this, I think the investment should be channelised for other useful purposes.
At the outset, the primary reason why enhancing the quality of the Internet accessibility has become a key national investment portfolio is with the availability of a better Internet connection, an extensive avenue of information is opened up for the inhabitants. Most residents both in urban and rural places would have omnipresent access to both international and local social news. Secondly, an improved Internet supply can facilitate the operation process of governmental companies. With stably-functioning online platforms, corporations today would no longer find it difficult to approach their customers, manage their employees or organise video conferences. In the long run, the development will boost the overall productivity of the economy.
However, I believe that upgrading Internet access is not the best way to allocate government money. The main reason is that the broadband connection in most countries today is fast enough to satisfy the basic demands of the public. For example, in India, individuals hardly have to wait a long time for a web page to load, while online business meetings have even become popular years ago. Therefore, an improvement in the quality of the Internet supply seems neither obligatory nor urgent. Another justification is that there are several other fields that are being placed under strain and require the capital disbursement to function. To illustrate, a number of state hospitals in India and abroad have been conducting research on a complete cure for cancer, and it seems that this should be the investment priority.
In conclusion, all aforementioned standpoints lead to a concrete inference that it is not reasonable for the authorities to spend money on improving the Internet provision, because, there are ways to allocate the capital more appropriately.
