To me, it sounds like Bellsouth reacted to the city of Lafayette no wishing to accept cooperation and continued with their efforts to raise money for their own network.
Don't think so, otherwise there would be a mention of it by BS. This seems more like a case of BS right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing, or chosing to ignore it.

Hope none of the people in Lafayette are stockholders in Bellsouth, or hanve funds based in part on them. I also hope the city officials have trained and qualified people, both technical and administrative, to handle a wid-area network. Y'all did check that out during those elections, right!?!
Do you honestly think the city officials are going to be the network admins???

Of course not, but maybe someone brother or cousin. Point to the evidence where every muni endeavor came out a success. Marietta, Georgia failed, but that was because of poor administration in finances with an acute money-pocketing condition.

Re: How can it be any clearer?

Marietta never even offered residential services. they didn't offer a triple play.

They spent the bulk of their cash buying up long-haul to Atlanta.

Marietta did not have to sell. They chose to. This was a political move by a mayor that was against the concept, ran for office on that platform, and dumped it on the market.

And, from what I've heard, the company that did buy Marietta's plant kept all of the existing staff, primarily because of the good job they were doing.

I work for a computer company in Lafayette. We had LUS run a fibre line from their main trunk to our office off of Ambassador Caffery. The speed is great with no problems yet in the aprox 6 months we have been using them. As far as who is running the show, they have been hiring local techs and some not local to head the operation. Some of the leg work and helpdesk positions are being filled by graduates of ULL.
