>> NPR covered a local government a while back that tried to build a local ISP but was shutdown when players like Comcast brought in their legal teams to make building a government-run ISP illegal in that jurisdiction. >> I therefore speculate that big ISPs like Comcast must be paying the politicians behind the bill. And after reading this quote from the article: >> PCMag recently named Chattanooga, Tennessee, the best work-from-home city in the nation, citing in part the city's "widely available broadband Internet" provided by the Chattanooga Electric Power Board. Comcast initially tried to block that public network from being built but eventually upgraded its own service to better compete against the public option. It seems very plausible.
