| This rocks :) Nothing like the fear of someone else killing the cash cow to get a fire lit under a big wigs ass.  Seems to me its about time a municipal system got tired of all the infighting and said 'Screw it! We'll do it!' I wish the heck they would do that here in Tucson as well. With 4 Hospitals, 1 Trauma center, 1 major University with 50,000 plus students and 2 community colleges, numerous high tech industries (Hughes-Raytheon, Micro$oft Tech Support, Intuit, Imation, etc) AND being one of the fastest growing suburban populations in the country, there doesn't seem to be any reason why they couldn't do it. Between the fools at Qwest and the fools at Cox constantly bickering over who is going to open whos lines to who, its a nothing more than a major pain in the ass for those of us who live here. For years all we have heard about is 'this on demand', 'that on demand' and 'just around the corner' How can they even dare say now that they didn't know how much this was going to expand? Simple fact is, they thought they could half ass it and make due while providing what they thought people would be happy with instead of doing some major overhauling and investing in the future, and now, in one market at least, they have found its come back to bite them in the butt. Go tri-cities people I wish you luck in your venture!

| Man-o-man! Are we getting shelled in the Tri-Cities! Misleading ads are everywhere! Hey TacSpeed....Comcast says in one handout Click! is a failure! Not true is it?! Aren't they breaking even? As a matter of fact they say there are a lot of municipal failures out there...that we know aren't! We have verified all claims. Out and out lies are being handed out and sent around.
And hey! Billy Ray! Did you know Glasgow,KY is in trouble too? According to Comcast in the Tri-Cities (in their scare literature they are handing out).....they say quote "Glasgow, KY had to issue revenue bonds on three occasions in order to finance the cable system because it has consistently lost money since it began ownership in the early 1990's." Does that make you mad?! I don't think this is the case.
The vote is April 1 and I have a feeling this is going to get even more nasty. The citizen support group, can be found at www.tricitybroadband.com . If anyone wants to see how nasty SBC and Comcast can get while fighting for their monopolies to continue, you have only to check out the citizen site and read the newspaper links and message boards.
