Here in Chattanooga, EPB, our local power company, has rolled out their fiber optic internet and will soon be rolling out their own cable system run on their own smart grid system. I've been lucky enough to try out the internet and it's awesome. To have their cable, their much more reliable and way faster internet and add in a movie channel of my choosing (because I don't want them all) I would be saving 30 dollars or so a month than what I'm paying for Comcrap at the moment. And my internet goes out every time it rains. The minute EPB sent out their press release of their intentions, Comcrap took them to court. And lost. Monopolies suck and are supposed to be illegal. I think it's time more companies step up and we all deserve not to be treated like crap from the likes of Time Warner and Comcrap.

MORE TAXES! Having one supplier can be good. Example: I my city garbage is picked up by one company and the cost is about $60 a year. My friend lives in a city where the residents said NO WAY to one garbage collector. On that street a garbage truck from a different company goes by almost EVERY DAY and they pay about $240 a year. The waste from all the trucks driving much further is crazy. Medical care is another one: I know the middle man (insurance) makes tons of money (from you) because I sold insurance. For about 2 hours work I made about $2,000 over 6-8 years. Insurance has so many plans and it takes so many resources to manage these. And since health insurance is of course for-profit, no wonder health care is outrageous. But people think socialized health care is bad. I'd be all for the service provided by Greenlight. Then I wouldn't have to deal with Comcast and AT&T. Big business is actually running the United States, and just try to stop them. The only thing some people say is: OH NO! MORE TAXES!

Presenting legislation that is clearly against the best interests of the American people should be considered an act of treason, and thus any member of congress who agrees to support or help such an act come into law should be held just as guilty. The sad truth is this country is no longer for the people. The United States has made a dramatic shift from a democracy into a Commercial Dictatorship where the power no longer lay in the hands of the people but in the hands of corporations and international bankers. If you have any doubts of this, please i invite you to watch the video below. Take notes, then find out for yourself what the truth is. All of our futures depend on the American people waking up from their propaganda fueled dreamworld and really understand what is going on around them. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-594683847743189197 This type of behaviour will continue until we do something about it.

They charge us 40 dollars a month for slow DSL that is not very reliable. Nobody else will come in and try to set up business because they don't think there's any business to be had. I feel the citizen's pain and they need to keep this city run internet going. It's the only way to combat greedy ISPs and their inferior service.
