I'm not normally for government owning things, but if a locality can run an ISP like Lafy runs LSUS then I've got no problem with it (especially if they are being run as a business and get weened off tax dollars so that they are fiscally independent). It's not always going to be so good, but I think being able to take it in a case-by-case basis (especially in very rural areas where private companies don't want to go) is better than waiting for a company that's probably never going to service your area.

why not? The government is run by the people for the people. If people in any community desire it than the should be able to acquire it. No corporation should have any influence on anything
