Subject: [AFMUG] Public broadband failures 

Does anyone know a compiled list of community broadband projects that 
have received federal funds then failed or got sold off? 

One of the counties in our service area is in the process of 'thinking 
about building a fiber network that we(they) will run ourselves' We're 
looking for examples we can give them where the government built then 
network, but was then unable to continue to run it, or it didn't play 
out the way they expected. 

Here in Illinois, another county just recently transferred their BTOP 
funded Fiber network to a private entity because they were convinced 
they didn't want to run it anymore (there's more to the story, but 
that's the long and short from what I gather) There's gotta be stories 
like this all over, has there been a list compiled somewhere?
