You can't pay off senators/FCC who don't exist.
You know why there are no muni fiber projects (a la Chattanooga EPB) in Texas? Because someone passed a law against it. One other fact: AT&T's HQ (formerly SBC) is in Texas. Coincidence? I doubt it.
If on the other hand TX munis were allowed to do something more than build their own dark fiber nets, the cities would have more competition for services and rural ISPs would use bandwidth from the cities to push things forward. But again there's a law against that now, because the same regulators y'all all love so dearly had enough power to make that law. |

Here's your answer:
This company donated significant amounts of money to several Texas politicians, who then rubber-stamped Connected Texas, who turned around and created a broadband map that inaccurately represented broadband terrain in the state, using taxpayer money.
Oh, and I wouldn't call the phaser sound effect music  |
