Background:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_cooperative>

Example: Electrical cooperatives in the Missouri and Illinois, who
already have access to right-of-ways, poles, etc., entering the
broadband market to serve their communities:

<http://www.cbn.coop>


So yes, broadband by voluntary cooperatives can be done.


TTYL,


Phil
