I wonder how much fiber could be deployed with the money the telcos spend on lobbying and lawsuits?

Coxlad @bls.com	Why should the government regulate Telecommunications and yet enter the market themselves? Conflict of Interest. Don't believe what the media wants you to hear. There's more to the story.

Why should Telecommunications Companies run the market and ~~write~~ (excuse me) "suggest" telecom law? (which is happening with many of these telecom bills on the state and federal level). THAT'S a conflict of interest.

Conflict of Interest. Don't believe what the media wants you to hear. There's more to the story. Heh, the media is what we're talking about here; or the control of it. It's a different government that regulates internet service providers.(Local governments don't regulate telecommunications) Personally I don't think municipals should provide service, just infrastructure, that way they don't need to go through the mess of revenue bonds. Plus an even playing field of service providers (one in which a competitor doesn't own the infrastructure) will provide a more ideal service to constituents.
