These companies need to be forced to rebuild with fiber!

Enough screwing around.. the large telcos should be forced to rebuild with fiber or else be fined heavily for every year that goes by without significant progress.

While this does sound a little extreme, they are given quite a bit of right-of-way and easements many are doing nothing with but letting the copper rot.

We need to get away from one company doing the fiber and content. It would be better to build a fiber network and then let each customer hire content providers and ISPs lease the single fiber to their house or business. You may have several content providers and 5 or 6 ISPs asking for you business instead of 1 or maybe 2.

And anyone is free to create a Co-Op to do just that or any other company. But as seen in other cities- it doe NOT work. iProvo? UTOPIA? Two of the largest Muni networks that were "open" and still nothing really changed anything in terms of pricing let alone providers that are/were on it.
