Mount Airy, MD | Ugh The same people who shilled for every single failed municipal broadband program in the USA will now shill for this one.
The only difference is fiber is a much greater and the taxpayers will be left holding a much bigger bag.

I'd counter with this is proof of what can be accomplished when the Muni's are left to plan and test their network rather than fight frivolous lawsuits and smear campaigns by the local ILECs and MSOs.

Getting the telcos/cablecos to do anything to advance the broadband market is like pulling teeth! |
