Re: Chattanooga EPB or not, Comcast would have deployed D3 with in 2 years. In the next two years we will not HAVE to have 50+Mbps. EPB keeps telling use we NEED fiber because there is no other way to get High speed internet. They imply if we do not have fiber NOW this very minute we will be come the next Detroit with massive un-employment and high crimes.
Maybe I would have more faith in EPB's intentions if Chattanooga's leadership was not so corrupt.
In the end it will be a win for the consumer until EPB slips costs over to the power side of the company. |

| ...and what kinda crack have you been smokin? Chattanooga is one of the biggest success stories as far as bringing the downtown area back, increasing tourism, etc. I dont live there anymore, but I can tell you its like night and day since I left. This is great for the city...cant wait to visit my parents when they get it! |

| "increasing tourism,"
That's the problem. It's a tourist town now. We have the VW plant coming now but the other day there was news that we will exceed our carbon foot print so we won't be able to grab any more large manufacturing businesses. It's still unknown what exactly we have spent to get VW to come to Chattanooga.
In the last few years several members of the city council have gone to jail. The last sheriff is in jail. If Chattanooga could only lose the good ol' boy network and little town mentality it would really flourish. |
