Community broadband Internet service eliminates the need for residents to buy into high-cost Internet plans through individual ISPs, and provides access for everyone.
Cable Internet vs. Community WiFi Networking
Our Internet service is through Comcast. And while we’re quite satisfied with the service (especially the SPEED of cable Internet!), we look forward to the day that high-speed WiFi Internet connections are available in and around our town of Franklin, Tennessee.
Our cable Internet bill currently runs about $50 per month; not bad for three computers accessing high-speed cable Internet service 24/7. But we would definitely be willing to pay a bit more in property tax or something if it would mean low-cost Internet access for all Franklin residents — everywhere, all the time!
For example, some communities are charging as little as $15 a month for Internet access, which also allows unlimited local and long-distance Internet telephone service as well.

Believe it or not, there are some legislators who want to stop you from getting universal, citywide wireless!
And, of course, there are the cable companies who are putting up a fight, effectively slowing down the process.
