Bothersome? Why?

We've already paid for it, both for cable and telcom. Tax breaks, subsidies, and free right-of-way. If they are to compete for real then they should pay. If a town or city would like to improve their infrastructure they should be allowed.

Do you think government should collect involuntary
tax revenues and then spend that money to compete with private enterprise? I certainly do not. Let the telecom companies compete
on their own merits... if citizens in rural areas want to voluntarily
fund improvements to their infrastructure in order to attract businesses, that's fine... but why not let them form a voluntarily funded, non-profit coop in order to do it.

And when the people complained, it
displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard
it; and his anger was kindled; and the
fire of the LORD burnt among them, and
consumed them that were in the uttermost
parts of the camp. Numbers 11:1
