Any ideas on whether a government owned network is required to provide open access? I've heard mixed info regarding this. I assume it varies by state, but I haven't seen rules either way.
Thanks Carl, that link offers a nice explanation, I'll look into what seems to make the most sense. Also, thanks Jared for the specific details. I want to try to find additional specific examples so I can share them with the municipality. I'll do some further digging.
