- HDMI_Cable 5y agoWhich is better than an actively malicious oligopoly.
- CountDrewku 5y agoYes but at what cost? If you undercut any private business to the point where they all leave the area and there's no competition or alternatives I don't think that's going to be a good thing in the future.
- afavour 5y agoI’d argue that’s one of the reasons municipal governments are the best place to do this. If you tried at the state or federal level it would be slow as molasses but cities can move quicker. Of course it’s all relative. Verizon has supposed to have been rolling out FIOS to my neighborhood for a decade or more now.
- CountDrewku 5y agoI get it. I have municipal broadband and it's obviously the better choice in my area right now. In the future it may not be though and if you run all the competition out of town by undercutting it with subsidized tax payer dollars then you might not like what's left when it comes time to upgrade that network. More choices, alternatives are always going to be better.
