| Waiting... For how long now has next-generation internet been waiting to be deployed?
Hell, many asian countries are probly working on Gen-5 right now, while we are stuck with Gen-.5!
For years now we have been doing everything but screaming at the providers for faster speeds, and nearly every time they found some excuse to forgo it (My personal favorite is SBC's "Fiber is not a proven technology").
If the internet companies wont provide it, at least we can get it from somewhere...
If munis work out (which I believe they will), I hope it:
1) Gets the cable/telcos off their butts and moving on next-gen deployment without all the excuses (currently awaiting the 'not enough funding due to current mergers' excuse).
2) Satisfies our own frustrations of corporate bypassing, and provides us with next-gen broadband that we have been dieing for.
3) Lets other states that are trying to pass muni-bans see the light and kill the bills (no movie-pun intended). |
