Government Built/Sponsored fiber to many small municipalities (some with 100 people). Available for ISPs to provide service to end users wherever they want. I know people who have faster internet on their farm (30 miles from city), than I do in town! I'd say this is a good example of municipal internet done *fairly* well. Who knows, a similar program might even create some jobs and stimulate the economy here in the US.
