On: Comcast, CenturyLink fail to derail Utah community...

[jeron]

Surprised Utah of all states supporting a community owned enterprise

[pessimizer → jeron]

Not me. Because of Mormonism, I'd bet Utah simply has more community than most other places.

We have a decently well run state government here.

[macintosh-hd → BryanLegend]

Municipal ISPs are banned in cities with populations over 50k by the state of Utah so it's not that great.

[barbazoo → macintosh-hd]

Is there an actual practical reason for this that would explain it or is it just lobbying?

[yamazakiwi → barbazoo]

Most places in the valley already have Google Fiber and it's still expanding, if that's valuable information to you.

[macintosh-hd → yamazakiwi]

Google is barely better than anyone else in the market. Don’t treat them as your friend.
