MUNICIPALITY OWNED BROADBAND NETWORKS
THE CURRENT SITUATION
The United States is falling behind other developed nations for High Speed Internet Access In 2015 the World Economic Forum ranked the United States 43 rd out of 143 countries in Internet bandwidth, a measure of the available capacity in a country.

Incumbent Operators are not responding to Internet Speed demands Business Model Collapse What they face is longterm strategic decisions regarding their business model. The struggle between entertainment and telecommunications companies has intensified the broadband debate. Competition from Web Based Delivery The explosive growth of Web based content delivery is shifting how content is viewed. Pressure on operators to unbundle is hurting profit margins. Investment in Content Realizing that their business is changing large operators have invested in content delivery. No New Infrastructure Consumer cable prices have risen three times the rate of inflation since the 1996 cable deregulation act.
