>Chattanooga rolled out a fiber-optic network a few years ago that now offers speeds of up to 1000 Megabits per second, or 1 gigabit, for just $70 a month. A cheaper 100 Megabit plan costs $58 per month. Even the slower plan is still light-years ahead of the average U.S. connection speed, which stood at 9.8 megabits per second as of late last year, according to Akamai Technologies.

I think municipal internet is good because entrepreneurs can move to cheaper areas to set up their businesses, which gives money to local economies in desperate need of it. It also gives California and especially Silicon Valley and their street shitting code monkey slaves a big middle finger.

Privacy would be at risk if the government were behind it. They can monitor your usage more intensely than ISPs do.

Any other arguments, thoughts and opinions?

can you believe such a beautiful city is 40% filled with melanin enriched kangz?

What kind of business would move into a city because of municipal internet? They'd still be bottle-necked by every other connection from it to the rest of the world. Unless you're in the business of building a city-sized Beowulf cluster, I don't see the point. Unless I've gotten this wrong.

But anyway, it could be a nice thing that cities foot the bill for their own communication infrastructure, specially for places which are rather lacking from the perspective of telecoms.

It also provides an investment opportunity for people. Provo, Utah took out bonds to pay for the construction of municipal internet. Bonds promise to repay those that invest in them.

Unfortunately they failed when they didn't get as many subscribers as they hoped for. After raising electricity bills and still not being able to pay for it, they sold to Google for $1.

If a smarter person were in charge, they'd get deposit money from interested consumers to gauge how much interest there was, build where the majority was and work their way to the others as well as spending money on marketing and educating the public.

Can you explain what a Beowulf Cluster is to the casual techie? I looked it up but can't understand it :^(

A Beowulf cluster is a cluster of consumer-grade computers, which is just a bunch of consumer-grade computers wired together to work as one. That's the general idea, at least.

These things are supposed to fail so corporations can claim them at no risk. That's all socialist shit ever is. Corporations (Jews) lobby to have citizens (goyim) pay for shit, then they steal it. No citizens dream this shit up. There's no profit.

If there was enough demand there would have already been a private isp there. The tax payers there just made a multimillion dollar donation to google.

It's called privatization and exactly what the ancaps want, this is a problem caused by corporations having too much money that lets them buy the politicians. If it stayed in government hands you would have much better service at lower prices, but no profit for businessmen. This is why South Korea has world-class internet while in the US it is approaching third-world tier. But keep twisting reality to fit the narrative fed to you by the corporations who are fucking you over, /pol/tard.

It would be interesting to check the background and connections of the people who ran it to the ground. If they were all in on it, they came up with a very profitable scam. The Jews know how to manipulate things to suit their purposes. A good example is the nonprofit Susan G. (((Kohlmann))). Have volunteers make up the bulk of your labor force, pay low salaries to your managers but don't you feel good you're doing something to better the world goy :^) then pay yourself as CEO $500,000+ salary because it's hard work running an empire and G-d's chosen deserves it.

I'm sure there were private ISPs there. Municipal internet is supposed to be a better alternative because any profits made go back to your city in the form of jobs, expansion to rural areas and maintenance.

I just thought of something. If internet were cheaper than private ISPs, what's to stop politicians from taxing it to fund other programs like gibs for the kangz?
