With little fanfare Recently, a key United Nations commission made a remarkable statement: it declared, unambiguously, that broadband access is a basic human right, right up there with the right to healthcare, shelter and food.

Well I can't say if This right is for the Western world or If those in Africa is included as Internet Facilities here isn't as it is in many other countries. Being so expensive and the delivery speed isn't up to it. Also many people are still faced with the problem of having the Basic Necessities of Life.

If this is a Basic Human Right then its already being violated in many places.
