It's a great idea!

We don't have corporations in charge of building streets and roads to rural communities. If they did the roads wouldn't be built. From an argument that the people out in the sticks can't provide enough tax revenue to pay for the roads.

So the companies will refrain from building out the broadband pipeline because of lack of profitability. So why not have it as a part of a city service? What's the big deal? You know they are going to outsource the cable laying to third party companies anyways! But it has to be municiply run.

My only fear would be the 'authorities' would readily tap the lines to sniff around. More easily than they can do with individual companies.

My thoughts.
