cable broadband these days costs about $44.95 (in austin, for the full 3 mbps service)... so $40-50 is a really good price for a brand new service.

It's because the present president is owned by $pecial $$ interest

You make a good example of why irrational hatred makes one irrational. The President has nothing to do with municipal networks, municipalities do. So bitch to your municipalities instead. Duh!

You might have an argument if Bush had vetoed a TVA-style bill that would have provided such an initiative, but it didn't happen.

In other words, your kitten getting run over by a car isn't Bush's fault.
