Frank, what do you think of this Supreme Court Decision against TCOMA? news.com Telecom revolution in the heartland By John Borland Staff Writer, CNET News.com February 22, 1999, 1:00 p.m. PT In the heart of Iowa's farming country, the citizens of a tiny town called Hawarden are helping lead a rural communications revolt. With a population of just 2,500, the town has built a fiber optic network that will give its citizens communications services as modern as anything in the heart of Silicon Valley. In the process, Hawarden officials have earned the political enmity of state telecommunications giants like GTE and US West, who have sought to limit the town's ability to offer telephone and Internet services over the new system. But last week--on the same day that federal regulators approved AT&T's merger with Tele-Communications Incorporated--the town won a state Supreme Court battle that finally will allow it to turn on its own telephone and high-speed Net services. The decision also sets the stage for nearly 50 other Iowa towns that have built their own communications infrastructure or are making moves to do so, according to a state utility trade association.
