Anti-Muni Broadband Bills Country Wide

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-than-one-equals-a-trend dept.

Ant writes "Broadband Reports says that 14 and possibly more states that have or will pass(ed) bills banning community-run broadband. Free Pass shows a map breakdown of the states while Tallahassee.com takes a look at a newly proposed bill in Florida, backed by Sprint, BellSouth, Verizon, and Comcast, designed to bog down the muni-development process."

    it's the votes that are counted.

    Your faith in your grade-school civics teacher is so laughably naive that I wouln't bother to respond to it except that you are so obviously the tool of some interest to whose ongoing benefit it is that the public continue to believe The Lie.

    You're votes count if the Tool selected by the Corporations to "win" the elections *sez* that your votes count.

    Get used to it.

    This child-like Faith in the System that you exhibit is absolutely what makes you and others like you the biggest part of the problem in the US today. You really should drop back and read some of the writings of the Founders before you try to decieve the broader public who may not have the kinds of ... entanglements ... that so obviously have trapped you in in a sinking ship - so to speak.
