I just got back from a technology incubator conference in Lafayette,
LA. I met the director of LUS, the city owned electric utility that
serves this city. They are planning to build a FTTH network that will
offer broadband AND will compete with Cox Cable.
He even noted that they would pay local broadcasters re-transmission
