Clinton, MA | Hmm... The article endorses Oklahoma House Bill 2796 ("Passage of HB 2796 would ensure that Oklahoma consumers continue to enjoy the benefits...") and then finishes with:
"Not an endorsement."
They can call the article what they like, but it sure as heck *is* an endorsement.
But in any case, what does that have to do with the idea that municipalities start their own broadband services because national competition is *not* bringing broadband service to them (or at least not with acceptable service levels)?

I think I might be missing something here. I live in the Tulsa, OK area...check. I live in a rather affluent neighborhood...check (I even live on a lake for crying out loud). I have a decent income...check (my wife and I clear six figures easy). I have DSL...NOPE. Where's my DSL? Oklahoma ran all the CLECs, for all intents and purposes, out of the state so SBC would make the investment in the state, but SBC isn't making the investment they claimed they would. Ed Whitacre sounds like Dick Gephardt sometimes...both say eliminate their enemies and give them positions of autonomy and they will do grand things for you, but both are full of krapp.
