Re: Be interesting to see if this works Unless the municipality builds the network with an open-access to anyone for resale, then its competing unfairly in the free market, and doing so with special conditions.
How should any business take a condition in which its competition get's to make their own rules? Personally, I think the LECs and cable providers should just pack their bags and leave the state. Let the Lafeyette municipals show the state how it cane be done while pleasing their people. Hah! | |

But then again, how is that different then having a private network owner who also offers service? They set the prices, and decide what services to allow to be resold at what profit margins. So you see, they're really no worse, and I'm pretty sure they'd be happy if both packed it up, since they're trying to replace them.. It's not a "free market" either way.. (unless they open up the muni network) | |
