Better than free shit broadband.
Broadband would have been an infrustucture project, and would have given an almost immediate fiscal stimulus. That was the logic for prioritizing it and is usually missed. Free bus passes just distributes a cost born by individuals across the whole of society.
However, the nuance of that point combined with the lack of foresight over how state* controlled internet would look to people encapsulates the issues with JC/JMcD's political awareness.
*Particulary under a socialist government run by people who've back leaders like Chavez, and are believed to have connections with Russia.
