| said by Richard B  :It been tried it turns into an expensive fiasco. I do not want government to do a Hugo Chavez on my internet. This is a problem. Experiments in this area have not been too encouraging. Municipalities simply do not have the expertise to do this.
On the other hand, the people who do have the expertise are the very same folks who have an incentive to keep competitors out of the arena: the ILECs and the MSOs.
Maybe what's needed is another '80s style telecom breakup, except this time, instead of separating Long Distance from Local Service Providers, we separate companies into one entity that provides and maintains the local loop or the cable infrastructure (and is regulated and provides the same service to everyone) and another entity that provides the cable TV, ISP, phone services, etc. and would be unregulated.
