Two Tier Internet, against Layfayette Fiber and now wanting to shut down a wireless network that is much needed. Go BellSouth.
No wonder so many hate the unimaginative ILEC's.

Ya know its nice seeing all the people come here and rant on about Bellsouth, but when is someone going to start a revolution and stop bitching? It's sad that the goverment isn't concerned about the citizens...

The government's main concern is with itself. The citizen concern, if it exists at all, is minimal. |

Why shouldn't BellSouth just spend all the cash they spend on lobbyists and build the damn thing. |

"The network is technically illegal, under a BellSouth lobbied law, created to thwart municipal broadband deployment of networks faster than 128kbps."
If the law makers were so concerned about their citizens, they would simply change this silly law in the first place. |

It's a silly law much like laws that prevent me from running coax along the fence and giving my neighbors access to free cable TV. |

Will BS being doing any type of investigation to determine if any of their employees used the city-provided network, and if so, terminating that employee...?

Build what? The WiMax network they have? Or the DSL network that most of downtown can get?
This is not a matter of shortage of services. |

Why not? If cable TV doesn't want to service them for a fair price and instead wants to gouge them why shouldn't I be allowed to step in and do some good community service? |

| Because you'd be stealing the cable co's product. I don't see how NO building its own network is comparable to stealing cable service. I'm pretty sure they're paying for the connections to the net. They're just not paying BellSouth, and BS is mad. Whah!
Your analogy is completely wrong. |

What authority does the city have to offer internet services? |

| What authority prevents them? What authority gives them the right to build roads? To pick up trash? To tax property and educate your children. Its called "the vote." Citizens vote and give the city the authority to do things on their behalf.
What gives BellSouth the authority to short-cicuit the will of the voting public? No one voted for them.
And you are providing the means for your neighbors to steal the cable co's content, you know it, you're doing it willfully. That's illegal.
As far as I know, the city isn't stealing anything. |
