Broadband never was a utility.

A utility is something you need to remain alive. Water, heat, gas, electricity all run appliances that keep us warm, keep our food from spoiling, allow us to cook our food, and allow us to have indoor plumbing to remove human wastes from our home and reduce the incidence of disease.

Now its up to you to explain just exactly someone would die from lack of internet access?
