Which part of the article is successful in stopping municipal utility companies from doing their own broadband internet?
My own city started building their internet in 1998 before I moved there. They started with cable, always a little slower than what is now part of Spectrum. Then some years ago they started slowly building a fiber optic backbone. Schools and all city buildings get fiber optic all the way, for regular people a fiber node goes to 80-120 cable modems (on average a block away).
Even with all that the price went down this year from $38 to $30 a month.
