I mean yeah that's what monopolies do. They eliminate competition by either buying it out or lowering their prices/improving service to drive them out of business so they can then raise prices again. Just cause a small company can come in and make things better while they're able to be around doesn't mean we shouldn't go after these monopolies and cut them down so they can't have this power.

Municipal broadband is not a small company though. It’s a cooperative owned by residents.

And in many states it’s actually illegal. Which makes no sense.

Probably companies like Comcast making sure there isn't anything to disrupt their monopolies. Another reason to break them up so they can't have that much power.
