Re: This triple play pkg looks the best for Wilson,NC Public utilities have go through planning commissions, do environmental impact studies, hold public hearings, and many similar things that private companies do. The biggest difference is that public utilities are required to do everything technically feasible to serve ALL the customers in their service area. Most communities attempting public utility FTTH had previously asked the local telephone company to build such a network as they were supposed to do and had promised to do. The Telecommunications Act had given them access to tax breaks and rate hikes that they promised were going to result in a nationwide 45 Megabit/second symmetrical communications network for over 90% of the businesses and residences of the continental United States. The telephone companies failed to keep that promise. And they would not partner with the public utilities or municipalities in building such networks. So the public utilities and municipalities have started the journey to build such networks, to serve ALL of their communities RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES, on their own. The argument about taxes is illogical. Governmental organizations do not pay sales taxes to each other. If I purchase things for a Federal agency, the purchase is exempt from state and local sales taxes. If a local school board purchases items they are exempt from paying state sales taxes on those purchases. |
