    Can get information from network any time of the day.
    That one "computer" is looking like a powerful device able fully support most study.

    EU political art will be found on the internet and removed.
    Now a ban on autonomous weapon systems? Not good for EU nations advanced electronics and mil exports.
    Someone has to pay EU nations taxes to enforce all the EU internet laws.

    Re "How you can fund this "Utopia" without taking workers income or owning the corporations to milk them, seems impossible."
    Any advanced nation can do that.
    Find all the citizens who are not working, doing education. Support them with under a payment system as needed.
    Show citizenship photo ID, have a bank account and the gov support is paid in. Some get help from a charity and the citizens bank account gets a gov payment.
    No longer in approved education? A different type of gov payment is made.
    Get a part time job? Reduce payments.
    Get a full time job? Pay taxes.

    As most normal citizens can be expected to work and pay tax the percentage of citizens getting full gov payments can be kept to a normal level every decade.
    Re "That money has to come from somewhere". As long as a nation only has to look after its own citizens and an understood number are not working the budgets can support such payments.
    The problem with cash for free for all is that "everyone" gets a payment. That cant be supported by a tax system that expects people working to pay tax and a set number of people to need support.

    Community broadband. Build that community out with new fiber optics.
    Let communities have a say in when, how and what they communicate with.
    Find a telco, ISP able to work in difficult conditions.
    Why should federal NN rules set a monopoly pace for communities ready to get their own great internet?

    Singapore is not the USA. Singapore invested in early networks and digital systems well before many other cities.
    A number of submarine cable networks pass via Singapore. That digital network history shows the power stays on and the networks stay working.
