Citizens who stay with current providers, rather than switching to municipal broadband services, will benefit because current providers will have competition. Citizens who stay with current providers, or do not order these services from any of the providers, will benefit from the economic opportunities this utility will provide for the municipality. With the creation of the proposed utility, our community would have the most advanced network infrastructure available, making it easier to attract and retain businesses that require these types of services. A balanced commercial base is critical to keep taxes down and public services up.
