Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access
Instarx writes "The New York Times reports that Salt Lake City and other Utah cities plan to install an ultrahigh-speed optical network as a public utility project starting next year. The network would provide internet access [for about $28 per month] in direct competition to slower commercial offerings. The network would be capable of delivering data over the Internet to homes and businesses at speeds 100 times faster than current commercial residential offerings. It would also offer digital television and telephone services through the Internet."

Well, I realized long ago and I say "Not in my house", and if you have a problem with that too bad.
And I get stuck with multiple personalities.
Consider that some ISP's are standing up to protect the privacy of their subscribers. What is the impact of a gov't entity stepping in? Espescially in Utah, which we must note, has a bit of a religious tendency...
Will the people of Utah be more or less comfortable knowing that their Government is handling all of their data traffic?
Come play Moral Decay!
They're mormons.
56k upstream is their way of limiting the amount of unholy peer-to-peer pr0n sharing.
I am at least halfway kidding.
