This is actually an interesting case study. government closest to the people (municipalities) want to provide a public service. States decide they want to help defend the Telecom Industry and use state power to block such efforts. The FCC issues a rule trying to prevent the states from killing the municipal programs. Who is right?

Are there cases where muni-broadband would depend on commercial carrier interconnects, making this a complicated issue?

Or is this simply the lobby dollars at work?
