Cool to hear Light Reading's The Divide podcast interviewing Brieana Reed-Harmel about the municipal fiber Internet access network in Loveland, Colorado.
Pulse has been very well-received by the city and as programs to make sure low-income households can get super fast broadband!

Third segment of this episode - The Scandal in Alabama Edition - of Slate's Hangup and Listen #podcast has helpful background on the role of live sports economics in cable bills and how they are transitioning to different packages. All of this has implications for Internet access and costs...

Fierce interviewed Brandy Reitter - #Colorado #Broadband Office director. Ends with note that Colorado #CommunityNets preemption makes it hard for communities to participate in state programs to improve #Internetaccess.
The state encourages remote mountain communities to invest in reliability - recognizing the need for redundant routes into town. More government programs need to do this over time!

If you want an introduction to #CommunityNets - this #podcast interview #askmeanything where Drew Clark hosts me to talk about #broadband #Internetaccess is a really good place to start. No talking points - we go back and forth and get into the details. Straight talk and I thought a very good exploration of the challenges of getting high-quality Internet access to everyone.

A year in review with a focus on #CommunityNets - the Community Broadband Bits #podcast with our team from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. A lot has happened in #broadband and we hit the highlights - how that contrasted or agreed with our expectations a year ago. https://muninetworks.org/content/year-review-2022-episode-532-community-broadband-bits-podcast with great contributions from @seanalan

Led by UTOPIA - which has seen a remarkable turnaround from having existential struggles to becoming both beloved and solvent - Utah communities are embracing #openaccess #fiber networks for #Internetaccess. https://muninetworks.org/content/utopia-strata-networks-turns-utah-hotbed-looming-competition #CommunityNets

@smgalante I believe you are correct. Tennessee and Iowa have a lot. California, New York have few. We track them at https://MuniNetworks.org/communitymap - When we checked many years ago, a strong majority of muni networks were in areas that voted Republican. Those are often smaller towns in rural regions. But Republicans often champion efforts to stop #CommunityNets

After Washington and Arkansas were the first-ever states to remove barriers to community networks, we hoped for more... but we got Pennsylvania at least taking a small step in the right direction... Limits on community #Internet access are foolish but pushed by the big monopoly providers to restrict competition. #CommunityNets

The comments on this post about Cox cable are a reminder that people don't just want better #Internet access, they want #CommunityNets for local service and long term benefits.
