More on N.C. anti-muni broadband bill: "In short, HB 1587 is bad for the communities of North Carolina and bad for United States as a whole. It is particularly offensive because it is touted as being necessary to achieve a "level playing field" for the incumbent com- munications providers, yet the incumbents do not, and could not, comply with HB 1587 themselves. To determine how bad a bill HB 1587 really is, the North Carolina legislature need only ask the incumbents whether they would be willing to abide by its restrictions themselves. HB 1587 should be defeated in its entirety." tinyurl.com tinyurl.com "Popularity of Bandwidth-Intensive Appli- cations Is Creating a Demand for Fiber to the ‘x’ (FTTx) Optical Access Infrastructure" tinyurl.com More on success of Tacoma Click!
