>Initially, EPB will charge residential customers $1,500 a month for the 25G service and $12,500 a month for preferred business customers.
That's not exactly a price point that I call "residential internet" you can get 25G or even 100G or 400G literally everywhere as long as you have deep pockets. I'm not sure what's the news here.
Fiber “literally everywhere” usually requires a massive capital outlay. I’m not getting 25G fiber to my house in Taos, NM or Bend, OR without many tens of thousands of dollars in up front costs, and similar pricing monthly after the fact.
We have 2 corporations that can provide a competitive market, and since free markets lead to the best (pareto optimum) outcomes, this should be illegal.
