Land O Lakes, FL | That's real helpful, albeit a waste of time for those who are not part of Rep Sessions constituency.
I have on a couple of occasions tried to communicate my thoughts to congressional members, the response has always been the same. I am politely told they will only respond to their own constituents. |

I just spoke with him. Nice guy.
But, he's trying to say the proposed legislation "only" stops muni deployments where an incumbent already provides service.
I mentioned Cerritos, CA which did their own Internet service deployment b/c the incumbent sucks. I also mentioned why limit/shackle a community from banding together to come up with their own better solution.
Call him too!!! Let him know you see the world with a vision of growth and opportunity not limited by monoplies! |

kudos:3 | I think you will find this is an intrusion on States Rights! Even though "incumbants" do have national reach, each system is still a seperate opering unit in each state.
ie: Comcast in Minnesota is called Comcast Cable of St. Paul... Charter in Wisconsin is Chartern Comunications of Wisconsin. TWC in the twin cities? I think it's Twin Cities Cable group of Minnesota.. Anyway, you get my point.
To be a service provider in each state, the company has to get permission from that local boundry area, NOT just the Feds in general.
Again, I think it's an intrusion on states rights and I think you will find the states wind up fighting the feds on this one.
The politician is REALLY saying "hey Comunications companies, I am on your side.. elections are coming up and my checking account is available for deposits..."
It's right in front of our faces. |
