Key concepts in this essay

drivers of government internet investment (economic competitiveness, citizen access, service delivery)
cost-benefit analysis: broader societal return vs. direct recipients
opportunity cost: trade-off with other spending priorities

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Stating 'internet is essential' without analyzing *why* governments prioritize it (economic growth, education, health, political participation)
Claiming it's or isn't the 'most appropriate' use without comparing alternatives (roads, healthcare, education—all valid competitors)
Ignoring that spending benefits differ: urban fiber reaches millions cheaply; rural broadband is expensive per capita but important for equity
