Re: Novel idea I live in the community and was trying to do a service. People complain, still even after the venture, about the fact there is not better broadband services.
I never failed, I just did not want to lose my house over it. I do not have as much money as Verizon or the cable company. Seems to me if they would have left me alone I would have succeeded.
I fail to understand how this is arrogant? Really is was two different things, one an action I was taking to provide better services and two, an opinion on how I think it could/should be done.
Again, I live in this community and they express there opinion on what they want very vocally. Failure to me would be no one buying my service, that is not the case. The problem was the borough, cable company, and Verizon would not allow me to succeed, or even try. A business failing is when no one wants to buy their service. In my case big duopolies seemed to have forced me out using legal methods. I do not have a team of lawyers and they know that.
Your analogies do not compare at all to the situation.
The only part I consider arrogant is that I said *uck it, if they want to fight me on it then I will just keep my 45meg connection and not do it. No loss on my end, just the community loses by not getting good service. In 5 years the community will still be stuck with 3megs and their 768 upload.
As far as the business, it still operates to serve business customers with workarounds, no residential. Because I cannot hang fiber on poles I cannot get the capacity I need for all those customers but using radio mesh I can get enough to serve the businesses.
I really do not know why I took the time to write this. In real life I would just punch you for your lack of understanding, we would clearly have a reason to fight. You insulted me and the community I live in. Visit us sometime, we will be waiting for you. | |

If it was the city I would stand aside you but according to your own words.
said by keyboard5684:Well, what happened is the local crappy analog TV station fought it, the borough fought it, and many people and businesses fought it. Why? Because most people already paid a fee to the local coop (the cable company) and felt they should be doing it, which they never will. It seems your problem is more than just the city but many your community. Perhaps I was wrong arrogant is not word Messianic Complex is. "I" had this great idea now how dare they "rejected me".
I still stand that going to government provided service is worst, you could be happy just providing yourself an alternative and everybody is happy.
said by keyboard5684:"In 5 years the community will still be stuck with 3megs and their 768 upload. well adds a little more to this story Broadband is available I assume, have it occurred to you that people are happy what they have. My mother in the city will not upgrade from dial up and the only reason I stick with 6mgeg cable is Comcast's cost with basic cable is still less than Verizon DSL, IF Comcast jack up the price, I will dump Comcast for 3meg 768 upload in a heartbeat because I really do not need the speed.
This makes my point about government. It seem you can get people excited for bigger toys so get the government and we the tax payers to ram it down their throats.

I assume the city and county prohibits you, if this is the issue, it is why I am against franchising laws. If you build it there should be way to grant an easement to lay you own fiber.

I sad nothing about your town, but again it proves my point about Messianic complex if you can win by debate turn to intimidation and violence. Is this why your opponents turned to the courts? You intimidation left no other choice?
We agree to disagree we are done with this conversion.
