Ashland still searching for ways to save municipal network
City officials in Ashland, Oreg. have delayed their plans to raise electricity rates by $7.50 per month to cover the unexpected cost of their municipal fiber network. Meanwhile, the local newspaper calculates the problem could be solved if 90% of the customers of Charter Communications switch over to the municipal network and "accept steep price increases to top market rates." They might as well outlaw private enterprise while they're at it.
