Answer 2

There will be a shortage of Internet access.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph shown below, it could be seen that the slope is a typical slope obtained in a graph of demand-supply curve. Going by the demand-supply theory, it means that, the higher the price of a service or goods the lower the quantity demanded and vice versa.

For the internet access, since the price is set at point B (lower price), definitely, there will be shortage of internet access. This is because, the price is cheap thereby lower revenue to the government.
