[TriLUG] OT: Bill banning Google Fiber to be heard Tuesday AM!

[matt at noway2.thruhere.net]

FWIW, after reading the legislation, I signed this petition contacted my
representative stating why I am opposed to this bill.

I find it telling that it starts out in big bold letters stating that it
is a jobs creation and protection bill.  It then goes on to state that any
public competing providers must effectively charge the same rates and
provide the same level of service as TWC.

> Hello TriLUGers,

> Tuesday morning at 8:30, the House Finance committee will hear H.129,

> This may be our last chance to keep Google Fiber and municipal broadband
> alive in this state as Time Warner Cable continues to demand outlandish
> concessions from municipalities and refuses to negotiate.
