| Re: Hmmm...this sounds familiar I claim to be neither, I just want to see a open real debate with a logical conclusion. What are the real pros and cons of this topic.
1. more people with access to the Internet.
That is the only "pro" for muni ran networks I can think of. Now what are the cons.
1. paid for by tax money
2. more government employees for the tax payer to support.
3. government control of internet content (ie, Utah porn blocking law)
4. government price control (comcast and charter in the last 2 months forced to raise prices)
5. Teaching the children to rely on the government for services and "handouts" ( another generation of lazy bums)
6. even tho the tax payers paid up front for the network they still have to pay fees. (higher fees than me on roadrunner to)
7. it is socialist in nature and we know that socialism killed 100 million people, just one more step closer to your death for speaking your mind.
8. not one single muni has been shown to be a success, 600+ exist but no one thinks they are "good"
9. has been tried before and failed, why keep wasting money?
Really think about the benefits and what is gained from a muni ran network, does it make any sense at all to force all tax payers to provide a service that only a few will use? We see what the education and socialism has done for our kids, they are so stupid nowadays. As for the remark about MacCarthy, well he was 100% correct, the FBI released tapes proving he was right, he exposed commies, and the commies killed him, he is a true American hero, we need him back to save this country. | |

| Re: Hmmm...this sounds familiar McCarthy was an evil man who ruined many innoncent people and even went so far as to accuse Eisenhower of being a Communist, along with other great people like actress Lucille Ball, whose husband, Desi, had fought the Communists in Cuba. I can't believe anybody would honor or think he was a great hero.

| 1) Not all muni ventures are paid for with tax money...do your home work.
2) The govt. doesn't control the content. A separate board generally puts together tiered packages for customers to choose from. Parents control content in the home with the remote control!
3) Munis, in general, have lower prices than the monopolistic Telcos and Cable Co.s like Comcast. Munis provide a choice for service. What is wrong with that? And prices at Comcast and SBC haven't been raised across the country due to munis, if that is what you are suggesting! Comcast and SBC will tell you it is because of all their wonderful upgrades (cough, cough). Wonderful upgrades to subpar technology...
4) If a muni decides to build infrastructure to provide services it is a CHOICE to take services. And if you decide to take services of course you have to pay fees! You don't see customers getting free Comcast cable TV, do you? And the tax payers don't pay upfront for the network. You need to learn about the different business models and financing methods in place for muni infrastructure...you sound like a moron.
5) Now I know you are a moron when you say no munis are a success. And the reason you say they aren't a success is because no one thinks they are "good"? What is that supposed to mean?
You say you want "a open real debate with a logical conclusion". Since you are neither logical, nor mindful of real facts, might I suggest you not represent the anti-muni side?
