Public broadband

So to hell with the FCC and ISPs now that net neutrality has been eliminated. Some cities are deciding to build their own broadband networks to maintain that neutrality. 185 communities in the US already have one. Chatanooga, for example, did so and offers a 1 gigabit service for $70 a month, a speed at a price unheard of from the ISPs. Of course the ISPs have lobbied to prevent cities from competing with them, indisputably proving this has absolutely nothing to do with market competition.
