Good things going on here. But I think we need to be careful about end-justifies-the-means thinking.
FTA:
> The Federal Communications Commission will allow some cities and towns to set up and expand municipal Internet services, overruling state laws that had been put in place to block such efforts.
> The commission granted petitions by Chattanooga, Tenn., and Wilson, N.C., to overturn laws that restricted the ability of communities in those states to offer broadband service.
What is the FCC doing overturning state law? This strikes be as worrisome, regardless of how bad the laws in question might be.
