I am hopeful that this will show people why municipalities granting monopolies to phone and cable companies is a bad idea. I've argued this for years, and many of the people who are now pro-net neutrality, in years past would argue that there needed to be these monopolies, because otherwise the infrastructure wouldn't be built, or poor people wouldn't be able to afford it, etc. In fact, EPB is probably a local monopoly- many power companies are, though that is less the case today than in decades past.
