The concept is simple: Deploy or get the F out of the way. And to the whiner telcos and cable operators, too Fing bad. If you guys didn't suck so much there wouldn't be the demand for muni-broadband that there is. As for the myth of unfair competition, what about private hospitals, private schools, private security firms, UPS, Fedex, DHL...all of these compete directly with gov't and do just fine.
