Most water systems are municipal. A handful of electric companies are
municipal. In principal there's no reason a municipal internet service
couldn't succeed.
I think municipal broadband hasn't often worked out because people
involved underestimate how difficult and/or expensive it's going to be.
We could think up plenty of sarcastic ways to say this, but I think
that's the root of the problem.

Not intentionally. I just copied and pasted the blurb from the vendor
in the email. The RFP seems real. Ill conceived, intended, and with
poor hindsight to other results perhaps but real all the same. I am
not sure what else to expect from the communist state of California
though.
