Re: Are redlining enabling accusations a red herring? Your deductions may or may not be correct, depending on how you are defining what a jurisdiction is. If the entire area within the city limits is a jurisdictional area, then YES, this bill would promote red-lining. By not allowing the jurisdictional authority to mandate that service within its jurisditional boundaries be provided to ALL citizens, broadband service providers would be able to cherry-pick areas WITHIN a jurisdiction, skipping any areas it chose.
The ability to skip whole jurisdictions is not what this is about since, as you say, they already do that. |
