Oh true. I should have been more clear in that it's free in terms of anyone with equipment who lives in the country can access it.
Not that it's truly free, as yes tax money would be behind it for sure, and is in cities and countries with free service.

Is it that we're pathetic at innovation, or that every time we innovate the target moves farther away?

A combination of the two for sure. But at the same time, laptops haven't advanced much the past few years in terms of what they can do, and battery life hasn't gotten much better.
Battery life is the biggest tech limitation we have right now IMO. And I don't think that will get better, it will be widespread wireless electricity etc. that ends up moving portable technology forward, rather than some breakthrough in battery tech IMO.
