It is. SF has no financial investment at all. They just get a free ubiquitous network covering their city, like many other cities already have. As far as the 300k free tier goes, 300 k is fine if you had nothing. What do they think, that the dial up people had free dialup already?
Fiber to the prem? Ha. In all of SF? Not in my lifetime. The stuff in there about the $80-200.00 CPE is just bogus. Someone has fed the authors of that report a line of bull! If the contract with the City says building penetration, then that's what EL has to do. Talking about CPEs is putting the cart before the horse a bit. My experience with another town they did has been that there is penetration to 95% of that city's streets, and a good bit inside the homes. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.
