........... the ability to tax and tax to bailout the system when the municipal system is losing money hand over fist. And that is why state laws passed preventing this. It isn't just incumbent ISPs doing this, but legislators distrustful of local taxing authorities.
give me a frickin' break.
most of these "legislators distrustful of local taxing authorities" have either been told or paid (or both) to be distrustful by the incumbent phone or cable company.
that's where they get their information that makes them "distrustful".
