Stock options are worthless if the stock price doesn't go up. SBC's stock hasn't moved in five years. That's why the guy is still holding on to the options and hasn't cashed them in yet. If you buy a half million worth of stock and sell it for a half million, that's not exactly an incentive to be someone's champion. |

Interesting SBC, Verizon etc, not only wants to offer cable tv without a franchise, but its also wants to ban muni wireless. Does someone notice a set up?

Let's just let Washington decide everything for every town in America when the big dogs can't or won't deploy. What hogwash.
Tying the hands of local gov'ts who are trying to help their citizens or their business community is the polar opposite of what they are there for in the first place. |

He wants to have his cake and eat it too, big deal. I don't expect any less from a politician. Unless someone is willing to do something about it besides complain, let him have his way. |

| I fully believe that this type of tech should be with private companies. It makes sense for a lot of reasons.
However, if companies can't or won't invest in an area for whatever reason, the local munies should have the right to move forward.
A fair way of doing it would be something like this:
1. X company would have 2 (based on agreed to effort by company and local authorities) years to construct and activate the service
2. If after 2 years the job is not complete per spec, then they would pay a fine equal to the cost of the resources needed to do the work
3. The local govt. would then use the fine money to finish the job. The infrastructure would then be owned by the local town or county.
4. Or all companies give up the right from the start and the local govt. moves forward with their plan.
Seems pretty simple to me. They (the big companies) want it, then put up or shut up.
