Demand is high in Longmont, CO. I know there are other projects in the same boat. http://longmontcolorado.gov/Ho...
Early adoption always has snags, but it's finally at a point where it won't sink a community to invest in municipal broadband.
Doesn't anyone else remember a similar ruling a few years back in the EU, but apple managing to skirt it that time by offering the 30-pin to MicroUSB adapter, and then subsequently releasing the same adapter for the new lightning pin connector?
The thing that really needs to happen is that phone manufacturers need to be forced to utilize open source/copyright-free connectors, and prevent requirements of licensing fees. This will generate two effects: Apple and other companies that try to follow its profitability chain will lose the incentive to create and utilize proprietary connectors (since they will not see monetary gain from it), and phone manufacturers can follow suit with better adapted connectivity designs in the future. Innovation will come freely then.

If they subscribe to a service such as SendGrid, MailChimp, or the like you may be able to have their mail provider ban or warn them. Just check the headers and look up the sending server.
Readers: If you add a pattern of periods in your gmail account you will still receive the mail, but it becomes a fingerprint of the original receiving list (Of course this is limited by the length of your email handle, 2^(length-1) unique addresses are possible). You can also use yourname+tag@anygoogleappsdomain.com to achieve the same effect, but some overly strict (Read: invalid) mail parsers won't accept tagged addresses.

Agreed Not exactly sure how to narrow this down--but the sequence responsible for motherboard clocks is most likely the winner.
