I wish this could happen everywhere. In Weston, FL we had one local provider (Advanced Cable). The customer service (and product in general) was much better than that of Comcast/ATT. I guess competition forces better products/service to be offered to the individual, go figure.
What laws prevent other communities from doing the same? And what justified their existence?
- nathancahill 12y agoBecause ISPs sign deals with cities for exclusive rights to provide broadband in the city. The offer incentives to the government (providing cheaper/faster service to schools and government buildings) in exchange for exclusivity. Part of these deals prohibits local governments from becoming ISPs. The root of the problem is that ISPs are not classified as common carriers.
