FCC Warned Not To Take Actions a Republican-Led FCC Would Dislike

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-wouldn't-like-me-whn-I'm-angry dept.

tlhIngan writes Municipal broadband is in the news again — this time Chief of Staff Matthew Berry, speaking at the National Conference of State Legislatures, has endorsed states' right to ban municipal broadband networks and warned the (Democrat-led) FCC to not do anything that a future Republican led FCC would dislike. The argument is that municipal broadband discourages private investment in broadband communications, that taxpayer-funded projects are barriers to future infrastructure investment.

    "that taxpayer-funded projects are barriers to future infrastructure investment."
    That's been shown to be false over and over again. Why do these people get away with a provable false statement.
    We have seen, over and over again tax-payer funded program create jobs, create infrastructure, and in some cases create entire tangential industries.
