Ideally the internet would be provided with the same indifference as water and electricity. With no stipulations on how or why you're using it.

If you share your water or electricity with a neighbor, I think they can cut you off and/or fine you. Probably dependent on the state?

Yeah, stuff like that is likely decided at the municipality level.
