Re: Qwest Vowed not to Sue! If the issues Qwest raises are legit, such as poaching pole space, violating pole structural integrity, cutting Qwest lines, etc., and the Utopia people won't address these concerns, then litigation may be the only answer. I worked in government for over 20 years, and I know that their attitude can be 'Our way or the highway'. Sometimes the courts have to require government entities to follow laws and regulations, as they seem to think that "since we are the government we can do whatever the f*** we want". I would also agree with a previous post that requiring taxpayer money to subsidize and back the bonds being issued to pay for Utopia is not a good use of the public trust. As for public/private competition, I believe we are in uncharted waters when it comes to telco services, and I am afraid this will come out badly for the taxpayers. Government has a way of screwing up even the simplest tasks. |

| Government screwed up back in 1984 by breaking up AT&T. At least they spent money on their infrastructure. They also had a R & D department (Bell Labs) for future deployment. They placed fiber in the ground back in the early 80's that is still working in places.
