As someone who is not well versed in this debate - can someone explain to me why it is a...debate? As in what is a (valid) argument against giving municipals the right to provide an internet service? Obviously big companies don't want the competition but how can they legally make an argument against it?
- salawat 5y agoThe normal logic is that private industry can't get a foothold against something subsidized by tax revenue, therefore the municipal option amounts to unfair competition. I've never really bought into that line of reasoning though, especially when upkeep can be bid out to these ISP's.
- bilater 5y agoAh interesting point. Thanks for pointing this out.
