Re: It will move forward If enough people get together in a city there is no reason they can not start up a co-op. Or if a provider feels the area is not worth the investment I see no reason that a city can't build their own network.
Or in the case of the Wilson's community network in North Carolina (www.greenlightnc.com)which the City of Wilson owns and operates the system, for the community. 20 Mbps symmetrical Internet service is $59.95 per month. While their 100 Mbps for $299.95 and talk nothing about caps anywhere.
I am sure that kills any competition in Wilson, but to be honest it just shows how much private enterprise is already making on their service, and then to cap it to make more profit.
I am all for free enterprise but if you can't even beat the government's, as we all know, over inflated prices, then maybe you don't belong in the market.
I would love to see more Cities like Wilson, but that is just me I guess. |
