The Becca Varco Daggett call for sslowing the city down is well thought out and makes a lot of sense. I wish to encourage us, the residents of this great city to think about the most radical of these models to see what could be of most benefit to our entire community.

My brother lives in the city of Windom. Windom began their communications pulic utility before there was an internet. They began to think about things when cable tv infrastructure was being built. One person from the Windom area started a company to supply cable to the communities of southwestern Minnesota. He became extremely wealthly very fast. Windom saw what was happening and decided that they would be the cable tv provider rather than to give that monopoly to a private individual. They were able to to provide to the residents of Windom more tv channels than neighboring cities for one third the cost of neighboring cities. They have simply continued a very successful model with their broadband infrastructure. I wonder if we are not outraged because this profiteering has been just cable tv, not exactly a necessity. Thanks for listening.
