Re: More Proof that Municipal Internet Bans are Needed

Fiber is a lot faster then Wi-Fi.
Not if you use wifi as a mechanism for getting to the fiber. Even the fastest wifi will not come close to utilizing the bandwidth available with fiber.

Besides, if the incumbents have a muni threat to kill, they'll offer their best products (VDSL, DOCSIS 3.0 etc) and have sales on prices, so the consumers will have nice speed options and so on.... at least until the Muni threat is killed.... then the lockstep price hikes and so on can begin.
And the taxpayers lose because of the tax hikes and/or government service cuts that will be needed to make the government provided Internet work. We've seen this happen in just about every city where municipal Internet, particularly wireless, has been tried. Why do other cities need to continue proving that municipal wifi doesn't work?
