You realize the people who will be taxed over this agreed to it?
> throw in that any project past a few years will see the costs explode and this will mean that many will never see their new internet any time soon.
Speculation.
> it will be interesting what protections are built into the system that prevent the government from tracking the habits of the residents using the service.
The same protections you'd get from any other provider.
- briandear 8y agoYou realize that 89 people out of 1300 residents voted against the Comcast deal. That is not the same as a majority of residents voting for a tax increase to pay for internet. So no, the people that will be taxed overwhelmingly did not agree to this.
- dragonwriter 8y agoPeople who choose not to vote choose, by so doing, to defer to the preferences of those who vote. Also, the municipal deployment was approved in 2015, this was rejecting Comcast's offer to become a monopoly provider with inferior technology to head that off.
