Re: Shocking... I disagree. Utopia is actually an ideal system, and holds great promise in not only saving the communities money long term, but providing future services at affordable rates by 3rd parties. If it is ever allowed to reach fruition it will allow true competition to bridge the last mile.
If it achieves nothing else, at least it forced the incumbents to build out when they had been dragging their feet. Part of the reason Utopia came to exist is because the incumbents there weren't in any hurry to bring broadband to the area.
They sure got in a great big hurry though once they started to do it for themselves.
