I've done the reseach, As of the census of 2000, there were 128,358 people, 43,751 households, and 33,644 families residing in the city with a per capita income for the city at $35,551. Not very cherry at all.
That's 104.3k per household!
That's enormous, especially for Illinois
Problem is, rich households don't buy cable tv in strong numbers. I would be curious as to which areas AT&T did not want to build out too. I am guessing low density rather than anything that had to do with income. That's the big problem with high incomes; they have low household densities and hence are pretty unprofitable for buildouts.

I think the point should be made very clear that Regional monopolies are no better then national ones. The problem with America Broadband is that the telcom industry is still living in the 70's and the technology is from 2010.
I've repeatably said that the whole industry needs to be broken apart and we should have a National Fiber network with full open access to anybody that wants to sell service to the end customer.
Local governments need to be taken out of the picture all together.

How in the world can you look at 6+ year old data and think that it is current?
I moved here (Naperville) in 1991 and have seen the changes and growth over the last 15 years. As you can see from the table above, this area is quite vibrant, particularly when compared to your 2000 data. Probably too much so.
I cringe when I see the "Best Places to Live" surveys because it drives people here. That being said, if you want to live in a town that takes pride in what it is and where the city council overall makes good decisions for its citizens, this is a nice place to be. |
