Cristina Lara attends Cornell University--also known as the "Wait, is that a Patriot League school?"--and she's taking umbrage with Cornell charging for internet bandwith beyond 50GB. Which is reasonable, because Cornell University charges $57,000 a year. Endowment? $5.3 billion.
According to a lot of websites though, 50GB equals a 2.3 month nonstop phone call using Skype. So Lara is really making an effort to crack that 50GB limit in a month.
Lara contends that limitless internet access is important because Cornell is located in Ithaca, NY, and Ithaca is...lame. Like Lawrence Welk lame. And I say that as a cult fan of Lawrence Welk.
Her argument is mainly that when you live in Ithaca, it's either you use the internet or you're apt to turn to a seedy life of drugs. Which is a natural leap in logic to make. I've often found myself entering crack dens whenever I can't find a dependable wifi signal.
