The motivation of the Internet at this time was to
"The government should not be in charge of the internet. The reason why that the government should not be in charge of our network is because, if the government would be in charge of our network it would not be fair for some people because the government would say everybody has to pay more money and would have to pay more in taxes.

Comcast began publicly trading their stock in 1972 (Comcast Business, n.d.).
