Re: So... the 1300 jobs cost Lafayette taxpayers $

Private schools are doing just fine, even though free public schools exist. Lafayette won't be giving away subscriptions, so what's the problem?

Tacoma's Click! network is an example of a municipal system coexisting with investor-owned cable and telephone companies.

I don't see anyone going "belly up" over Lafayette's system, unless they're totally incompetent.

I was thinking it had to do more with government competing in the free-market. When the government competes in the free market as a not-for-profit institution then no sane private or publicly traded company can afford to compete.

I think it's funny how giving consumers a choice is a monopoly.

The Bellsouth person is concerned that... ...the municipally run fiber project could create a local monopoly.








I am at a loss for words.
