New York, NY | If Verizon won't play ball, why not Co-op? Building out networks is capital and labor intensive, but why couldn't this be done on a smaller (local) scale by co-ops? Getting approvals for one town isn't that hard, and there are plenty of well-trained Bell folks who've taken early retirement who could design and implement something without all that corporate overhead. If all it takes it two grand and a dream, I bet a company could find enough dreamers to get up to critical mass. |

| I'd buy that dream for five grand, jmr50  .
Fortunately, I've heard rumors that I live in an area that Verizon deems profitable (or maybe influential?) enough to consider serving up fiber to.
But until I actually see the light from Verizon, I'll have muni fiber in my dreams. |
