Re: The Tri-City Broadband project
quote:
live in Geneva IL, one of the 3 cities that are involved in this. We were supposed to get cable internet years ago, when AT&T took over the cable TV. That never happened. All of a sudden, about a month ago, when the tri-city project was picking up steam, I got a letter from AT&T (now Comcast) saying that they were going to be upgrading the cable in my area so that we could get "enhanced" services. The timing of this letter seemed suspicious to me.
TCI did the same thing here in Tacoma. TCI wasn't interested in upgrading the cable system here until the city of Tacoma decided to build a municipal network.
If you want a choice in ISPs, cable Internet at $30 a month or less, and some of the lowest cable TV prices in the nation; do everything in your power to get the three cities to build the municipal cable network.
Check these web sites:Tacoma's municipal network , Ashland Oregon municipal network , Grant County network

Hmmmm? An RBOC's connection-droppin' 2K dialup complete with busy signals for a total cost of $45/mo or high-speed municipal broadband for $30/mo.
Can you give me some time to ponder that?
