What does that mean for regular customers like myself?
- rtkwe 5y agoEither a locally run ISP offering gigabit speeds at good prices or it'll scare in incumbent ISPs into doing upgrades to lesser but improved levels for higher prices. That's just going off the pattern I've seen in a lot of places when cities start looking into making their own ISP; local government starts looking into running fiber and suddenly the incumbent ISP comes and runs their own fiber.
- ptmcc 5y agoAs of yet, nothing. But this is still a good and necessary first step at removing an asinine prohibition. There is still no plan or funding for building out municipal broadband services, but it opens the door to having that discussion that was previously off-limits. Alternatively, it puts pressure on private ISPs to improve service or else potentially face competition from future municipal broadband.
