Tacoma, Washington seems to be doing just fine and providing excellent service at a much reduced cost as far as I can tell. |

If I was a city with crappy monopoly Cable and DSL etc, I'd just let the idea float out that they were looking at building their own system, spend a few dozens of thousands on some network planners, contact some vendors, put out feelers for contracts, etc etc
Result? The local incumbents would immediately straighten up! They'd suddenly start upgrading and rolling out services and lowering prices!
Just string em along for awhile, and soon you'll have much better service.  And let the idea drop, then.

They are too experts. Expert lobbyists, but experts nonetheless.  |
