Let the city build the infrastructure.

In my mind the ideal setup would be the City building a Fiber network that multiple ISPs could utilize paying the city for the service. It seems like the best and perhaps only way to get true competition beyond a telco and a cableco. Right of ways to bury fiber is not easy or affordable to obtain for a 3rd party.

Re: Let the city build the infrastructure.

I will buy FTTH from Verizon, but not Qwest.

They would bring their horrible CS, and overpriced service to us.

No way ............

BINGO Shack.......I have been trying to tell you guys this for years. If the Cities build the infrastructure, you'll get your FTTH and then you can pick the products you want to buy to use it.
