    I think there was some effort, back in like 2010, to try to get the government to go into the market like a business, and just out compete the actual cable companies. Obviously, nothing ever came of that on a national level, but there are some local governments doing it. My grandpa is the township commissioner for a little township in northern Michigan, and he’s been working on getting it for his township for a while. I think they just started rolling it out recently

  Been trying for twenty years. The Internet is still pretty fly by night for most people. Flash in the pan, nobody will ever use it for anything important.
