“Internet access, healthcare, education and all those things are goods, not rights. You do not have a right to other people’s money or property,”

No, wrong. Internet access, education and health care are all examples of services, not goods as you seem to define them.

A fiber cable and a physical router is property. Access to that cable setup in order to provide internet access is a service. All services need to conform to a minimum standard in order to be legally provided. It’s there we need to focus.

A company certainly can determine that they will not provide such a service on their property. But if they do intend to sell that service commercially then they are going to have to abide by a minimum standard. Net Neutrality would be a good place to start – something we already have bits and pieces of in the Swedish telecom legislation and the EU telecom packages.

Your property rights naturally diminish if you yourself want to use that property commercially – not by design but simply because you will be required to sell access to your property under legal obligations.
