pnh102, are you sneaking into my room at night and stealing my thoughts?

Being a customer is optional. Being a taxpayer is not.

If you don't like the ILEC or cable company, fine. If it pleases you, cancel them and spend the rest of your life wallowing in a personal vendetta...but don't come to me, Joe Taxpayer, with hat in hand to fill the hole.

Call me a shill or whatever you want...just don't ask me to pick up your broadband tab.

you guys don't read how a muni works they don't charge all the tax payers. they issue bonds and the customers who want it buy them for an amount of time, then they use income from customers to pay the bills and push the costs down after the bonds are repayed they then go into a full profit solution and the prices are either lowered to compensate or are used to fund other goverment projects.

Kind of sickening how these pull from the tax pools ain't it ?? do a bit of reading in the article and it also explains the companies are crying foul because of low costs. and a unfinished clause. Please read the articles and do a little bit of reading about muni's before you go on chanting they are stealing from taxpayers. THIS IS NOT THE CASE READ MORE TALK LESS

And you didn't read any of my posts. I never said the taxpayers were "charged". The taxpayers provide security for the loans, and I'm against that no matter how small the risk. I won't even go into the (often) hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on studies and surveys before the public even has an opportunity to speak. That money comes directly from public funds and is never repaid.

I don't know what you do for a living...but if a competing business opened across the street and had the benefit of YOUR tax dollars as leverage to undercut you, you'd be first to piss and whine...and rightfully so.

I've stated this before, but I'll recycle my challenge: If this is such a great idea, then get together with some like-minded investors, pool your money, and go for it. I will stand at the front door of the bank and shake your hand as you bring in your first of many big hauls.

Put your own private money where your mouth is and leave me, the taxpayer, alone. I'm not at all interested in some socialist dream, so keep you meathooks offa my wallet. It's easy to flap your jaws when it's someone else's dough.

If I remember correctly many of these munis turn a profit from leasing to businesses during the daytime. So if that was the case being a taxpayer would be a non issue.

dude they don't take your money.. they take peoples money who want to invest in this and get it rolling. I do work for a datacenter for a living we get our customers saying these guys have lower prices all the time. and we say if thats what you want is a lower price then by all means go for it. Don't come crying to us to move over all your info from thier broken down servers when your service goes down. And 95% agree that we offer a superb price and superb people to do the work.. thats how we compete and we do quite well.

As far as using your tax dollars against you.. the muni's don't do that. The only questionable tax dollars spent are the ones for studies. I will give you that part. but it's just like those $100 toilet seats. You grin and bear it. If i personally had enuff capital to do it I would gladly put my money up. i know how cheap and how much profit can be had on a muni style system.

Muni's are great things and only the taxpayers who want to use the system invest in the securities.. Not every taxpayer.
