Municipal
Broadband Networks. The term does not necessarily roll off the tongue
but it is far simpler than it sounds. Rather than buying Internet
access from a private company like Comcast or Time Warner, municipal
networks allow consumers to buy their internet access from their
hometown, much like their electricity or water utilities. These
locally owned networks are quite literally built by the people, for
the people. Even better, they are flexible in their implementation.
This means that they can respond to the demands of the people they
serve more effectively than the one-size-fits-all approach of
national chains like Time Warner Cable.
