There are a number of states in which the pig felching greedheads in the phone companies have managed to make municipal broadband and WI-Fi illegal, and a number of other states where they are trying to.

We have good news, the Senate Commerce Committee has passed a bill out to the floor that overturns these laws with broad bipartisan support.

Bad news is that there is no similar effort right now in the house, so call your congresscritter, and tell them to support the Community Broadband Act.
