Unfortunately the governments tend to want filters on it.

U.S.A.:
The Federal Communications Commission is looking for a bidder to provide free broadband service.... Half the United States population must be able to access it after four years, and 95% by the time the license comes up for renewal.

There will be one more requirement for the service. A spokesperson for the Commission has told Ars that the FCC wants it to include "content filters".

Canada:
The warning linked to a page that said, "Users must not access Internet sites that might bring the public service into disrepute or harm government's reputation, such as those that carry offensive material."

Restricted categories include sex, adult content, racism/hate and "extended government inappropriate." It also blocked sites deemed security risks containing spyware, phishing software and bot networks. The screen would be familiar to government workers, who have contended with the filter for years.
