That wouldn't be anything new. Towns have been selling their
citizens water, sewer, electricity, gas, etc. for hundreds of
years. It works quite well in many places.....

I wish towns and cities would erect whole SELLular systems, not
just the towers. The people have the RIGHT to compete with the
corporations, if they so choose.....while they CAN still choose,
that is.

I hope WiMax will be a public utility project, too. That will
keep the corporations from fucking us, again.
