Those laws absolutely exist. Usually passed by state legislatures who see it as government overreach, encouraged by the big ISPs.

Huh. That's ridiculous.

If a city can force everyone to pitch in for a library (cough homeless center), I'd think that running some wires and hooking up some gear would be a no-brainer.
