I would much rather have the local city doing something than AT&T (et al.). I find it absurd to think that you have a greater amount of influence and trust that a huge corporation has your interests in mind than a democratically elected local government.
The mere idea that a corporation would be run with the consumer interest in mind is weird. I do believe corporations are designed to maximize profits, not to maximize public interest. And maximizing profits means screwing over the rural communities, just like described in the article and just like private health care means screwing over those in poor health.
The local city government is at least required to maximize their number of votes to stay in business.
