Hi All <br>
<br>
Even if this Comcast upgrade happens, it is still imperative we do
this muni fiber project for Davis<br>
<br>
1) Our town owns the muni network, its private to our town, we will
be able to send data between locations in town for little costs, and
without having to buy cable tv package :)<br>
2) This is just the monopoly coming in with more monopoly tactics,
prices and service. Havign an alternative is better for everyone
for all the competition <br>
reasons we are touting for our own network. Comcast would lower its
price, for fear of losing biz to the muni network.<br>
3) Our project will be able to provide a community revenue stream,
Comcast wont. <br>
4) We can't have big pipe private interconnects to UCD, DJUSD, or
City for residences/business with comcast<br>
5) Ours goes up to 11. <br>
6) No one needs to pay $300 per month for Internet access.<br>
<br>
<br>
Onward! <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
RAN<br>

<pre wrap="">Yes, and how much water will a sports park need? And if it's a sports part not usable by every Davis resident, this is the wrong way to go about paying for it. Users should pay all the costs if it's exclusive to them.

I agree with
what Steve and then Shneor wrote. I was mulling the
"Sports park" proposal, and it occurred to me that
more people would benefit from a gigabit fiber network than
from a number of playing fields. Economically and
educationally, there's much more for kids and local
businesses (even if soccer and baseball teams eat a lot of
oranges and chips, which my employer sells).

Seems to me the more serious issue is the
mayor's proposed utility users tax on the 2016 ballot. I
doubt that both that and a parcel tax couls pass. Maybe this
item could be rolled into the utility tax proposal. That
could also increase the payback time to 30-40 years.

I'll
believe it when Comcast starts work on getting the
permits.
Until then, it's FUD to scare
off competition.
As for pricing, I'd
guess $300
if there's no competition
from a municipal offering.
$75-$100 if
there is.
And, of course, with
Comcast's
unrivaled (not in a good way)
service.

The
quetion is, what would it cost for gigabit service? Do
you
have to subscribe to Comcast cable for
this? Would there
still be metering and
different speeds for different
providers?
Not to mention lousy customer service. So,
maybe.

Hi
Please take a look
at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/2-gig-internet-california">http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/2-gig-internet-california</a>
Looks like Davis
would be part of the Sacramento
Metro
Area here.
Sorry Arbuckle!
Does anyone think
that a municipal or community
fiber
owned network
would be appealing after this is available?
