Bring on the broadband
The Chattanooga City Council unanimously approved local utility EPB's plan to sink a cool couple hundred million into expanding their fiber-optics network to all Chattanooga businesses and homes.
I've heard plenty of reasonable arguments (and, uh, others) as to why this plan is doomed for failure; but, for my sake, can we try to make our city an exception to this rule? Everyone sign up, just as soon as you are able. This is something I need. The day I can switch my ISP from the current cable provider (without going to a slower-speed provider) will be a happy day in this house. My little text file uploads (i.e., blog posts) don't need that much bandwidth, but who knows? I may start podcasting, with video.
Yes, I know. There's the little matter of the cable industry's lawsuit to get through first. Stay tuned.
