How could ubiquitous broadband be a form of force?
Are you talking about having screaming TV monitors which would float above our heads and follow us everywhere, drowning us with verbiage so that we can't even hear ourselves think? This would be a form of force, but I don't see how the mere availability of information that I might or might not choose to listen to can be said to be force.
