Re: Local Government
but also possibly result in large, unsightly boxes around the neighborhood.
There is a role for local government, unfortunately it twists and morphs into something way beyond what it should be (like multiple PEG channels, jobs for pols relatives, airtime at reelection time, etc). And I must say, around here, comcast has gotten quite good at getting their way (lack of meaningful oversight being one) thru use of these freebies, especially around election time.
Unfortunately all this wonderful hype about competition is still only going to leave us with a duopoly in the wireline space. |

Unsightly equipment seems like a small price to pay for great broadband, considering that the alternative is "crappy" or no broadband.
