Don't you think the US (and every other 1st world) country should also take care of their poor, the hungry, the homeless, the high crime rate in particular areas, the victims of racism, sexism (pay inequity for women), homophobia, those unable to afford a university or college education despite their opportunities, the arms race with China, etc... instead of wasting resources on wiring the nation to make Net access ubiquitous or providing 500 TV channels?
There are problems at all levels of society that need to be addressed simultaneously. You don't just ignore group A to help group B, just because group A has their essential needs met.
Furthermore, better IT access enables the economy to grow. The taxes collected during a growing economy can be used to address the problems you mentioned.
