But at the same time will spend more money fighting municipal broadband efforts than it would have cost them to wire up the town in the 1st place. It all comes down to the telcos protecting their defacto monopoly power to the detriment of their own customers. My Web Page Join Red Room Forum Bud. These towns are tiny. The problem is the area is not a money maker. I and a couple other design engineers tried to do studies about this exact area. Running even a wi fi company here is just to expensive. The area is almost all forest area. A few farms sprinkled in. Even a muni here would not pay off in 25 years. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"

Stay where they are and deal with the problems themselves by spending their money to do it. Never assume anything. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"
