Texas Wireless Ban Has Failed

chip rosenthal writes "The effort to ban municipal networks in Texas has failed. Texas House Bill 789 originally had provisions to ban muni wireless networks. The Senate passed a significantly rewritten version, without a ban. A conference committee failed to reach agreement, so the bill died when the Texas legislature adjourned this weekend."

Good.

Last thing we need is more dumb telecom legislation.

Now if congress would get off their ass and put together a real bill that governed fiber bandwidth intelligently, we'd be in business.

Seriously, we need to pull the rug out from under the damn cable companies. They're making a mint prentending they're not in the same business as phone companies (moving info), and the laws support it.
