Once you do that you do realize Who ever your telco and cable companies are will come in and smear your campaign right.
Look at the fools near Chicago who got the campaign stopped and then got price increases. That was humorous and I still laugh when i think about it.

| | | | Re: Wow Hopefully they are ready to redeem themselves here and are willing to get this back on the ballots for Nov. 2004. If residents are fools enough to turn this project down twice....then no one can help them and they get what they deserve. Can't say we didn't try to warn them, and no one is laughing here now. Maybe the residents here might finally believe Comcast and SBC don't care about their taxes?! (Which was such a bogus argument to begin with....).

Torrance, CA | Great.... The more communities that do this weather 100% successful or not will show that they have the will where the big players don't....atleast some one is trying instead of saying no need, not enough revenue, to expensive....etc.... If we are the "Industrial Power" that we claim to be, why are we behind the curve on this one?

Near religious zealotry about privatization: efficient for short term monetary gains but lousy for longterm, balanced, sustainable anything. | |

The community spent $975,000 to build and maintain the network, and as a result has witnessed 62.5 new jobs, $2.1 million in commercial expansion in the region, and $105,000 in increased regional revenues and cost-savings. | |

| | Needs a federal/state subsidy, if you ask me. I think this is the answer to small towns where the phone and cable companies do not want to invest the capital for what they see as small or non-existent returns on investment. I know its much more attractive to the big companies to go after 50K-5M population areas than one with 2-5K.
Of course, those paying taxes in big towns and cities do not want to see their state/federal tax monies to going to help the hicks in those small towns. | |

Yup, but them there C-slickers get all pissy when on vacation in those same small towns & their cellphones don't work & the internet cafe' (aka gas station + restaurant + community center + post office + internet cafe) is on dial-up. | |
