The NC bill in 2011 was titled:
Quote:
|
"An act to protect jobs and investment by regulating local government competition with private business."
|
Funny how that doesn't mention costs and taxpayer liability.
edit: The Kansas bill said this:
Quote:
|
"scarce taxpayer dollars should not be used by municipalities to directly compete with private telecom providers."
|
double edit: Clearly ALEC is supplying legislative language to states, and they are industry funded throughout their issues. They have a section of their website devoted to broadband access.
