This is the model some Washington State Public Utility Districts follow<U+2014>they lay fiber, available wholesale, any ISP can provide service. Another model: municipality is the ISP itself. Downside: have to hire staff for support, billing; upside: maybe cheaper for consumer. https://t.co/dqwjGdrUCJ

@mikefehlauer So yes that’s also one model. Like Anacortes or Chattanooga but bigger. Basically how PUDs currently provide power/water; you don’t have to take it (you may have a well etc.) but is a public option.
@rscooter369 @EFFFalcon @ilsr @BroadbandNw So I get it, but it seems that wireless could be an attractive alternative for areas where laying new fiber is cost-prohibitive (e.g. geography (mountains, forest, train tracks), or in cities where you realistically can<U+2019>t dig and no overhead power poles). Is that not right?
@mikefehlauer Yeah that would be one good model. You also want it to just be there: so the local utility district makes it available and people pay for it, just like power or water. So it’s super easy.
