Re: Hmmm...this sounds familiar
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?
