worst idea
23 Jul 2006The worse idea I’ve ever heard:
A Metro Council task force drafted recommendations today that include offering BellSouth, Comcast, internet service companies and other communications providers as-yet unspecified incentives for dramatically increasing the availability of higher-speed broadband services throughout Davidson County by 2011.
It’s these little brief snippets of state/corporate collusion that can really open your eyes a bit.
I’m not sure I get your conspiracy theory. A city wants to attract tech businesses. These businesses pay well, are low in pollution, and tend to employ people who are nice to have in a community, well-educated, and not criminals. Tech businesses need cheap broadband Internet access. How can the city make sure that the infrastructure is in place to attract these businesses?
