Not really.
They just have different things that happen.
If the community broadband fails then the taxpayers pay errr already payed for it. But in reality they really didn't lose much building it. The price that it costs to build a community broadband service is lower than what it costs to replace the water heater at City hall. Plus with a Community broadband you can start it out small and see where it leads. If it fails thats the cost of trying. If it succeeds then you really lose nothing. Most of it would be administered by current salaried city employees anyways. |
