Internet

Hello Laureen,  The internet routine where Government provides the WIFI has been unsuccessful in many other metropolitan areas.  It is another example of Government providing a "service" that you pay for without the ability to finance.  Free internet is a wonderful thing except that somebody has to pay for it.  I am not a big fan of the monopoly that is Cable TV which is a monopoly because local governments have their hand in the till.  There are metropolitan areas that are not a monopoly via local government and the cable rates are much lower as is their internet.  The local governments around here say they need the revenue from Cable but the difference in revenue to actual cost to the consumer in a free market Cable environment isn't even close.  The internet would just be another example of government interfering in the free market which would raise costs and lower technological advances.  Does anyone really believe that the Cable companies in this monopoly environment won't raise your Cable rates to compensate for the lost revenue from the internet?  This is the message that all need to hear and understand.  Mike
