Free internet, a distruption to govt run bussinesses
For past few centuries governments always
picked businesses which are very easy and made
sure of no-competition. Some of these
businesses are tax collection, lottery program,
etc. Only politicians have full control on
them. This resulted in lot of inefficiencies
and abuse of power in government run
businesses.

Now internet is creating huge disruption to to
govt run business models. Governments and
politicians are forced to change now. Hope this
change will put citizens back into power.
