said by baineschile:Also, dont forget; municipal fiber services may be cheaper; but the government can make up the money in an area where private business cant: taxes. So, if your cable bill goes down $50 by switching, but your taxes go up the same amount, is is really worth it?
I understand that's a concern for some people, but where has that happened? Even in areas where the muni project went belly up I don't believe they raised tax rates to compensate. I think this is one of the examples cited by opponents of muni-broadband to drum up opposition to those projects.
