All anyone has to do to call BS on these projects is do a little research in to the UC2B fiber project in Illinois that was built with stimulus funding. Once they met the grant obligations the program all but imploded until they contracted the running of the system to a real ISP. Community run networks won’t work especially if you take the government way to run things mentality. Nothing is urgent and they don’t like getting yelled at by the 13 year old who is already smarter about networks than they are.

What is it with tech sites' hard-on for bashing ISPs?
