Re: If only... Just a note on Marietta. They were by no means a "failure" -- they were on track to go into the black in the first quarter of 2006. After that, it would have been a pure cash cow for the city. As it happens, however, the mayor ran on the issue of getting the City out of the telecom business three years ago, and he was willing to dump the system at any cost. Perhaps the best evidence of how well the system was doing is that the purchaser hired 100% of the staff to continue exactly what they were doing before the sale.
It should also be noted here they only offered service to businesses - not the triple play.
