'community-owned broadband networks provide consumers with significantly lower rates than their private-sector counterparts'
Having worked for a small gov't agency in NYC and personally witnessed all sorts of waste and incompetence, I'm a bit skeptical that this is at all possible. I don't think efficiency or cost-effectiveness is not something that comes to my mind when someone talks about gov't services.
They have incentive to keep things running well and efficiently because well it's you and your friends and neighbours!
And while it's true that government bureaucracies tend to drift toward inefficiency, private monopolies are very similar. Comcast is basically so bad that they're unfixable.
