Thanks to former Governor Locke and the fact that Verizon bought the Democratic party. There are restrictions on municipal systems providing service directly to the public. However, in all communities there are local providers that work with the municipal agencies in providing service.
So there it is. If you have a business that requires high speed internet connections there are the communities that should be on the top of your list.
