> I surprisingly have very little choice when it comes to the internet. Comcast is basically the only real choice as they blow away DSL speeds, and then that's that. No one else serves me as a consumer. And this is San Francisco! I think this is why municipalities are starting to get into the ISP business, which seems to be the only credible way to start actually giving these guys some kind of threat

San Francisco is a city where red tape, bureaucracy and the people will not allow another local access provider build.

If San Francisco decided to build a municipal fiber network, they would be sued into bankruptcy by the ISP’s.
