Re: Truth said by quetwo:Then how do the laws that were passed preventing rural communities from establishing their own broadband networks come into play with all this. The only such laws are those which save taxpayers money by restricting the ability of local governments to waste it on things like broadband.
As this site has reported, there have been many municipal internet rackets that have gone under and left taxpayers holding the bag.
Of course, there is nothing stopping private investors from using their own money, or raising money, to fund such a venture.

| Which municipal FTTH project failed?
Actually, the legislation was proposed by the large Telcos in various states, to completely prevent any county or city from installing their own FTTH. That decision should be left up to the voters of a community, not Republican legislators and their corporate cronies.

Which part of they do not want to service these areas do you fail to grasp? Moreover, am I surprised with you stance? No. Republicans hate government yet have no problem whatsoever using it to push a corporate agenda. |

Here are a few. And why do you conclude that any government-funded project has a guaranteed success? » A Municipal Failure» www.carolinajournal.com/exclusiv···?id=7562» www.smartplanet.com/blog/thinkin···fi/11546» www.technologyreview.com/view/42···romised/said by Telco:Actually, the legislation was proposed by the large Telcos in various states... I couldn't care less who proposed it. In the end the taxpayers win because their money isn't wasted on something that isn't vital. said by Telco:Which part of they do not want to service these areas do you fail to grasp? Ok I am typing this really slow so that you understand. My suggestion was for *private* entities and persons to raise their own money to build their network. You do realize this doesn't have to mean a cable or telephone company, right? --
