I mean someone had to pay to run the lines, right? and the lines that cross the oceans, too. I think we all must pay for access to offset those costs

If it were just access to that infrastructure alone, I'd understand...sort of.

Unless it's in a literal physical location, like on the IT Crowd, it's more than simply access to a confined thing.
