Satellite internet is available virtually everywhere, and there's Starlink. Many Americans and Canadians in rural and remote regions have no other options than to use that, so it's not just for third world countries.
The internet launched in 1993 as we know it today. Before that, people were online on BBS servers with modems. In the movie Scanners (1981), he uses a phone booth to hack the government's network.
That was always the case with dial-up. It wasn't until broadband that the internet became unlimited, well, save for the monthly cost.
Well, they are still spying on us. The January 6 Capitol rioters, for example, were charged thanks to their phones.
