Re: Does anyone know how Jurisdictions are determined for different ISPs?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

It is, and they do. But we have had service from the larger provider, and never had trouble when we did. We are just trying to find out if there are any ordinances or legal stipulations that would control whether another provider could come into our area.

My current neighborhood has the worst ISP I’ve ever encountered.  I and some others are trying to launch a campaign to get us better internet access.  What we really need is to be able to roust our current ISP, and send them to the dogs, though I don’t know if that is actually doable..  Does anyone know how it’s determined which ISP can serve a given area?  I know companies can move into a new area, but if I understand correctly, there are also stipulations based on who owns the towers, cable, etc. Since this isn’t directly apple related, please respond off-list at doniado...@me.com.
