In this reality, ISPs have put up road blocks for municipal ISPs.

In North Carolina it's especially shady-- any ISP can challenge by offering their own plan to wire up the municipality that wants to do their own wireless. Doing so can end up halting the municipal plan, but that ISP doesn't have to actually deliver said plan.

Wow, that’s impressively slimy. I don’t know it’s possible to defend telecoms pulling this kind of nonsense in good conscience.
