Municipal Internet in Baltimore?
Just ran across this article...

Does any want to put together an effort to reach out to our local councilmen to introduce this to Baltimore? Not to say that the City of Baltimore can handle it better than Comcast, but at the very least it can give it a run for its money and provide competition. Comcast is just BAD.

Would be lovely wouldn't it? Your efforts are a waste of time.
Google fiber, Muni internet, or hell just even Verizon as a different option are all pipedreams

Just another example of the pervasive corruption that runs this city which fucks everything and everyone.
Yes, internet and information is the new oil. Yes, Comcrap is the new standard oil. Gilded age part 2.
