How far can you stretch fundamental rights?

I was interested to read in the Register of proposals (viewed as controversal) for a municipal affordable WIFI network in San Francisco. Bases for controversy range, however, from whether WIFI and communications access can really be seen, as claimed, as a fundamental right; to whether it is sensible to swim against the tide and have essentially a small state monopoly providing the access; to whether the worst bit of all is that the monopoly would actually not be delivered by the state, but a single provider - and there are discussions with Google.... Another revealing snapshot of what can happen if creative attempts are made to do things differently.

I was also interested to see consideration of WIFI access as a fundamental right - I've been looking at access to telecommunications as potentially analogous to access to medicines in the context of doctors, nurses and midwives needing to call for assistance, or for individuals to be able to obtain key data quickly. So far as I can see, at present San Francisco is seeing the fundamental right as arising in less drastic circumstances - I'll be watching with interest.
