s/ubiquitous/ubiquitous for some large portions of society but definitely 
not all, and not everywhere, and often obscenely throttled or otherwise 
limited for many/

^ I think that is more representative of the truth.

I don't have an opinion about removing or keeping the chapter one way or 
the other at this time (insufficient experience in using the CLL to learn 
so far), but I hope that the above is kept in mind either way. There are 
still plenty of people even in developed countries like the US who might 
have access to a book, but not to internet (at least not at the time when 
they might want to look it up, and not internet that isn't too expensive 
or slow to justify looking up and downloading the grammar).
