| Click! Network I don't remember if the article link was from around here, but I read an article on the discussion of TCI days, when Tacoma, WA decided to build a cable network of their own. They are still up and running, i don't know how they are doing though. The incumbents don't want an unprofitable area to have service because they are a business out for profit. Well wouldn't it be good for the incumbents to let these municipalities build broadband networks, so if they start struggling, they can buy an already built network? I also think about the businesses it would help if this law did not pass. They city would purchase service to have fiber etc. installed, they'd have to connect to another provider, probably use their utility guys do some last mile stuff. I think this is a bad idea of law. |
