When it comes to a Muni run broadband operation, the only thing that the incumbents know how to do is constantly repeat;

"Your taxes will go up!"
"Your taxes will go up!!"
"Your taxes will go up!!!"

Other than that they have nothing to say.

They could at least be honest with everyone and say, "this will result in competitive pricing which will not allow us to continue to gouge our customers in the manner inwhich we have become accustomed.

Is BBR going to give equal time to the incumbent Cablecos and Telcos to explain why Municipal Broadband is not a good idea?
I would hope so. Although I really do favor municipal broadband and believe anything that the private sector spits out must be taken with a spoon of salt, yes that much salt.
