Re: BB prices down; but gas; electric; water prices up

I am not sure why you keep asking these same questions over and over when it has been explained ad nauseum that the utility bills are not impacted by the LUS Broadband initiative.

Go hang in the Motor Fuels Tax Forum and moan about how it subsidizes Mass Transit.

Your statement is wrong. The bonds would be an obligation of the utility if the broadband revenues were insufficient to pay the interest.

 Well sorry, I beg to differ;

- The bonds can be refinanced
- The bonds can be insured
- The bonds could be sold en masse to a private party
- The assets could be sold to payoff bondholders

The bondholders assume the risk, not LUS.

While not exactly the same (commercial vs. Municipal) ask @Home bondholders who held the bag when they collapsed.
