Council Bluffs, IA | and they wont care...
Unfortunately, this wont do much if anything. Bellsouth knows it has a stranglehold over the city and is too afraid to advance itself for the future. |

| You are, unfortunately, correct. What they need to do is organize something more painful to BellSouth. For example, tell everyone who has local phone service to evaluate their bills and cancel any services they don't need on a certain day. I'm talking about things like Call Waiting, Caller ID, etc. Pick a date, and ask people to cut down on anything they can live without. Not only will it make BellSouth take notice, but it will also save people a few bucks each month. It might even encourage some people to ditch their landlines altogether.
Another effort should be directed to the Louisiana Legislature to change the laws that are allowing BellSouth to obstruct this project. |

Im not really understanding this , it seems most of the letter is missing. If Bell South along with all the other RBOC's are planning to provide FTTP, why wouldnt they block anyone else if they could? Its just common sense. |

the argument at hand is that you should not have public government money competing with private business. POINT BELLSOUTH! |

| well your missing a point the Citizens of that City decided in a Democratic vote that they should put in FTTP. It's on thing to have a Level of government to decide to implement a plan and have that argument. Quite another for entire city to back that plan and be smacked in the face by a cooperate monopoly. And I would like you to elaborate where is the competing? BELL HAS NO FTTP in that city.
So I have a garbage disposal firm the city better stop picking up garbage it's competing against me. Open up a pool all those city run one's better stop because their competing against me!!!! I have a private school can't have government compete against me !!!!
Would you say the same for the above examples ? The citizens have spoken and there rights should always win over a rights of a corporation. |

| Government entities have a place, and it's not this one.
If the citizens of Loisiana want another isp they should look towards another private firm to provide the service. I'm sure there are a lot of projects like HURRICANE PREP for one that the city should concentrate on. |
