Let us please clarify: When you hear “broadband” prefaced by “community-run” or “municipal” or “muni-“ or “public” – it means government-run.

What is being discussed is government – famed the world over for its openness and free speech protections in places like Iran, North Korea, China, Saudi Arabia – running the greatest open platform in the history of the planet.

What is being discussed is our governments – famed the world over for massive debt, Obamacare, the post office, Amtrak, the uber-flammable DC Metro,…. – delivering you broadband.

Big Telecom is ‘terrified” of government broadband – for the very same, very reasonable reasons We the People are terrified of government broadband. And Obamacare. And Amtrak. And the DC Metro. And….

Because government broadband…stinks on ice. And we know this – because governments have been trying government broadband for nearly two decades now. And they are absolutely awful at it.
