AT&T Sues Louisville Over Google Fiber (wdrb.com)

Posted by timothy on Friday February 26, 2016 @02:59AM from the quit-looting-our-loot dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Louisville was one of the cities identified in 2015 as a potential Google fiber location? Since then, Louisville has completed the pre-work Google requires and, most recently, unamiously passed an ordinance to remove legacy bureaucratic speed bumps to installing fiber on existing utility poles. This applies to any telco wanting to add infrastructure, so that's good, right? Well, not according to AT&T. They are suing the city to block this ordinance and prohibit the city from using its infrastructure as it sees fit to provide better broadband to its citizens.

Or you can suck my balls.
The details of this story point to the summary being misleading, but the base underlying problem of the cablecos fighting any attempt at competition is still valid.
ANd you are really fucking stupid if you think boycotting anyone who ever used an AT&T product makes sense, but then again, you are probably a Trump sheep...
