    It’s rare that the California legislature all agree on something, but apparently building a state-wide fiber network is one of those things. This will allow a lot more people to access the internet, improve competition, and take away any excuses the big ISPs have for not supporting rural internet or internet in poorer areas, hopefully. Or at the least will make it competitive for smaller companies to step in in those cases. It also opens up the possibility of municipal broadband across the state.
