If it gets in the way of the local cable company/ISP, I imagine Michigan will vote this is illegal. Money > citizens.

- r00fus 9y agoYes, MI is where GOP state appointed emergency managers override city and county governments (mostly to the detriment of said localities)
- mobilefriendly 9y agoThis is common in many states when local governments go bankrupt.
- rmason 9y agoI live in Michigan and it's not going to happen. These people are too poor to pay. The big companies weren't interested in providing free service to this large an area. This group formed because there simply weren't any other options. Up in Northern Michigan there are areas where there is no telephone service, no cable or Internet. That's because there are too few paying customers thus it isn't cost effective to service the area. In Detroit there are tens of thousands of potential customers but they lack the ability to pay.
- bronco21016 9y agoCurious, what path would they take to declare this illegal? Under current legislation I can’t think of how an internet coop funded through charity could be deemed illegal.
