Re: No wonder

What I don't understand is why these same companies spend @$$ loads of money on lobbyists to prevent municipalities from creating their own fiber networks while at the same time refusing to bring broadband to the same areas because they've deemed them as having absolutely no profit potential?

It's sort of like saying, "I'm not going to sell you oranges because I wouldn't make enough money, but I'm not going to allow you to buy oranges anywhere else."
