That’s a false argument, Qwest receives tens of billions of dollars in tax payer subsides through the USF and excise tax’s they collect.

“Not when the likes of Qwest and Comcast were already duking it out with private capital.”

I don’t recall which city’s are Qwest and Comcast laying fiber to the home in? The answer is none.

Lindon offered to pay Qwest to install FTTH in their city they refused. Many other city’s requested service upgrades in their city’s Qwest refused.

In fact the best way to get Qwest and Comcast to install services is to start installing your own network, You can nicely match up Qwest and Comcast service upgrades in the Wasatch front to where Utopia is.

Any other revenue Generating Utility would be in the same spot as Utopia is if under the same horrid regulation’s placing controls the City’s ability to exercise the City’s RIGHT to self determination.

Brigham voted yes to the SAA, hopefully we can get one of them going in Layton soon.
