  • Sheesh I thought this was uplifting news until I thought about this perspective. I hope there is some sort of language in these grants that will hold ISPs at least a little bit accountable to build out actual networks.

    I’m lucky to live in a town that has municipal broadband, so I pay a reasonable rate for gigabit fiber and it’s owned by my town so there’s less of a profit motive and no need to appease shareholders by cutting corners or using unfair pricing. I wonder if some of the funds from this program coukd be used by more towns to set up their own ISPs like that.
