re: #160 MsJ

Some Republican held localities have enacted legislation specifically to disallow Google (but not worded that way because they would lose a court battle).

I can understand wanting to protect the local outfit from big Google, but the local outfit is probably relying on Comcast, Verizon, etc., for its own connection. Google access would force the big ISP to lower its rates, making the little ISP more competitive. No reason why it couldn’t switch to Google’s fiber and run localized services for the townsfolk.

But most of these legislators have no idea what they’re talking about in re: the Inter-tubes, so I don’t think they thought these laws through.
