    I lived in Longmont CO and they created a city run internet provider. It was $50/mo for life. 1000/up 1000/down. the city didn't take long to recoup their costs and start making some money on it to invest back into the city.

    it's too bad the big bad ISPs went around getting local governments to ban public ISP service. It would be a lot better IMO than giving away a bunch of devices.
