Even government services depend on you having a cell phone or access to internet in order to access services like EI.
Yet, internet (or at least decent internet) isn't available in most places in rural Alberta.
This is why Internet should be viewed as a utility and regulated as such.
It really should be. But the 70 year olds that make the laws barely remember how dial-up works, so it's not at the forefront of their minds
Yeah in Australia we have an app used to identify yourself to government websites, called mygovid. It only works on phones. You need it. You can't even install your grandma's id on your own phone because then you'd lose yours.
"It'll be fine, 99% of people have phones" is a dumb idea when everyone needs it.
Why even have a license or photo ID then, if they're relying so heavily on phones for identifying people?
And if THATS the case, why isn't everyone just GIVEN a government issued phone??
I license is for physical I'd. MyGovId is for digital ID.
That said, some states of Australia let you keep your drivers license on your phone now.
"Internet? You mean when your computer talks through the phone??"
