North Kansas City Residents Get 1 Gbps Free (After $300 Fee) Wednesday Sep 17 2014 08:59 EDT Tipped by telcodad Residents of North Kansas City are unable to get Google Fiber, but they will soon have the option of getting 1 Gbps connections for free from another company -- after an initial $300 installation fee. Earlier this month the City Council of North Kansas City voted to approve a 10-year agreement with DataShack for the operation of the city's liNKCity fiber optic network. While the taxpayer-funded network will still collect revenue from business, it will soon offer 1 Gbps connections for free to residential customers after a $300 installation fee (users also have the option of paying $100 for 100 Mbps or $50 for 50 Mbps), after which they won't pay another dime for a decade. "For the longest time, our taxpayers have been paying in to fund liNKCity," states liNKCity's Mellissa Hopkins. "We decided it was the right time to give something back to our residents." |

but but butFree Broadband is communism! My freedoms! These commie broadband deployments are hurting our 100% true-blooded American incumbent providers! Think of the CEO's! How is Randall Stephenson going to buy a new yacht without lovingly taking care of his customers wallets?
God forbid a muni overbuilds anywhere in the great Verizon's footprint. McAdam will have to stop taking his totally patriotic LTE Money Baths which will be a sad day for American Freedom. Those served by such a system will face such Nazi Communist ideas like fast service and new technology. Unacceptable! Only the job creators can experience such things.
