American's infrastructure is crumbling https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/americas-infrastructure-is-crumbling-what-should-be-prioritized https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/americas-infrastructure-is... Plenty of other article to reference on that. Why would we expect municipal broadband to be any different? Network tech jumps up speed every ~5yrs, unlike most other infrastructure that hasn't changed in decades. The current government sanctioned monopolies need to stop but I'm pretty confident that municipal broadband will being net negative in a few years as it kills commercial investment therefore leaving places that have it struggling to keep up with those that don't. See Korea, Japan, Singapore, etc... All have market based solutions. I expect in 5-10 yrs they'll be running terabit connections for VR or AR 3D video/telepresence and municipal broadband will be stuck only able to stream Netflix and take years to get the government to approve for upgrades.
