Re: Chattanooga is not "open"

said by fg8578:

My understanding id that Chattanooga's fiber network is not open to third-party ISPs; can anyone say for sure?

Neither is the incumbents that's half ass building out their networks

Everyone complains that incumbent ISP last mile networks are not "open access" yet when a City does the same thing, they get a free pass.

Just want to make sure I understand where you're coming from. Google initially promised open access, but changed their minds yet nobody complains about them either.

The "city" doesn't spend millions suing any potential competition is what i'm getting at ultimately.. The money spent shutting down any would be competition could have easily built out networks.. Not to mention the USF funds that they pretend to be wasting, but thats a whole other fuss fest
