That is a gross overstatement. Say that to all the tech firms in RTP. This law will have virtually zero effect on whether NC continues to be a tech center or not.
Cities, instead of building broadband systems, can use the money saved to reduce business taxes. That will do a lot more for encouraging businesses to locate in NC.

It's clear that she was bought and is owned by TW.
NC - please vote her out.

kudos:2 | SuddenLink While this does effect the whole state, here in my area, we have CenturyLink on the DSL side, and it's a very poor product, but we also have SuddenLink on the cable side, and they have been doing a lot of upgrades, for no other reason, but for pride of the company, and to outdo anything Centurylink could offer without doing fiber.
We can get 50 down and 3 up as of right now, it is a bit on the expensive side, $100 a month, but I enjoy it so much, I have 2 connections in my house for it.
So here in Greenville NC, I think we are being taken good care of, well enough for now, not to need any local efforts.
As soon as they turn up the 107/5 package here, who knows what the future holds, I know I am excited.

Re: Voting Maybe this "Flooz" will end up as a Sr. VP at Time Warner, just like that D-Bag over at Comcast....
How dare we let our citizens decide what they want.... remember, TW is the one that said "Customers want this"
Looks like TW Has been selling cool-aid along the side of the road again.... WTF |

Re: Fools! A friend of mine was going to transfer to a VA hospital in NC. He looked at the housing market, houses that have been on the market for extended periods of time make for good prices then he found out the property taxes had not been adjusted for the actual value so he could have purchased a 300,000 dollar house for half that price but the property tax would still be assessed for a 300,000 dollar house. He wisely decided to stay where he was.

Re: SuddenLink you may be well taken care of but because of this bitch the folks out in the middle of nowhere can't even consider a community based approach. Rural areas often only have the piss poor DSL product to use and no cable product. why not allow them to start their own community based product? |

This state has a law that requires counties to conduct property reevaulations every 8 years. So, if it hasn't been done, it'll be done soon. |
