Re: Its all a dream anyways

It is illegal for a government to own and operate any buisness that competes against private buisness. It is a law, I believe at least at the federal level.

I guess that since they are on a city level of government they can get away with it, but its still illegal to me. This would mean that any city could suddenly compete with your company, driving your company out of buisness and you out of a job. This is why that law is in effect.

No Im not stoned, and no my nickname is not goo?

I'm interested in knowing what Federal Statute this is that you are referring to.

Well I've never heard of such a Law and unless You are prepared to "Quote the Actual Law" down to the paragraph, Then I'd say You are Full of It! And I would hope some would question what motivates You. Municipal run Cable Operations are ok, As Private run Cable Operations can't do everything as They have to make a Profit, Municipal Cable Operations don't and are self funding and are accountable to the People where They are based. Besides I thought that Government was Of the People, For the People and By the People Part of the Gettysburg address by President Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States of America. And not by those who would restrict the Government & the Peoples Freedom to be innovative in solving problems where Private Industry can't or won't do It.
