re: #137 freetoken

I can foresee a town trying to connect directly to the backbone, thereby circumventing their local ISP, which would then bring the full pressure of its legal team on the town’s government to discourage such a project.

Google is fighting an uphill battle in some communities with its fibre project, because the big ISPs do not want the competition. They know that Google will offer far better service at lower prices. My cousin in KC has Google fiber, and he’s in seventh heaven.
