Re: GOOD! said by pnh102:If people want Internet access that bad, they can always buy it from Comcast or Verizon, its not like the city isn't wired for broadband already. While the particular article in question reguards how it effects the Philadelphia effort, not every (probably not even most) areas have 100% availability of broadband. If they must pass a law similar to this, it should be with the provision that Municipalities should be allowed to provide service where it doesn't already exist with more than one alternative provider. That is to say, municipalities should be able to provide for their citizenry wherever consumer choice and competitive markets do not already exist.
