The internet itself exists despite capitalism, not because of it. It was a public research project.

See, we can both cherry pick.

And you think internet would be as good as it is today without these companies that invest a lot of money to enhance it and hence make more money?

Of course. The infrastructure that underlies it has barely changed. You really don't know much about the subject, clearly.

Yeah sure, than who made 5G internet? Socialists?

5G internet is a misnomer. It's 5G mobile network, with access to the internet.

That's just an upgrade of existing mobile infrastructure. The internet itself did not change. In fact, cellular technology is only tangentially related to the internet in that it can also connect to the internet.
