It sure seemed that once, and only after, Tacoma had implemented their Click! network (TV and broadband internet), then both AT&T and Qwest became johnny-on-the-spot with their broadband/DSL offerings. I remember calling AT&T and Qwest and receiving 'not for a long time' type answers... now, I get promotional flyers every three days for AT&T or Qwest broadband/DSL. Further, I don't think municipal networks are anti-market... it seems things get better when you have more than one cable drop at your residence....;)
