Re: Municipal Broadband FINALLY gets attention

NOW on PBS is offering up a special on muni-broadband, specifically focused on PA's Wi-Fi effort:

How long NOW before they begin digging into the stuff I've been talking about in Indiana, where Comcast/SBC spent a quarter million dollars vs. a small community outfit that spent $4,000.

Or Lafayette, where BellSouth has threatened to pull 1,300 jobs if the city builds a triple-play fiber network.

Few yet are touching on the use of Issue Dynamics Astroturf to feed disiniformation to consumers. That's a big part of this as well.

This is a very DEEP and very SLEAZY story that they've only brushed the surface of.

CNET wouldn't have touched a story like this six months ago:
