The concept is simple: Deploy or get the F out of the way. And to the whiner telcos and cable operators, too Fing bad. If you guys didn't suck so much there wouldn't be the demand for muni-broadband that there is. As for the myth of unfair competition, what about private hospitals, private schools, private security firms, UPS, Fedex, DHL...all of these compete directly with gov't and do just fine.

You are so right! In my city, the public hospital is trying to torpedo a private hospital's development of a new regional medical center. They are trying to use eminent domain to take the land away from the new hospital, even though they have no active plans to improve their services. They are afraid the new hospital will take away their customers. Which is funny because the public hospital is reducing their services while the community around them grows larger by the day. |

QWEST should get out of the way they do not even have a good current generation deployment plan.

You can always invite verizon to sponge up what's left of qwest after the mci/verizon merger... they're deploying fttp to homes at a record pace... no other company in history has deployed a communications network as fast as verizon's doing now in over 150 communities already.. |

Corporate greed at its best.  Don't take it too seriously - sh*theads like Qwest will adopt or die eventually. |
