I'd like the share the following article with you about the largest provider in Bellingham, with the most influence on the COB government and ask the question yet again, why do we keep doing business with some of the most hated companies in American history when the COB could give us a better solution at little cost? Heck, they can even make money off of public infrastructure. The city stands to make money, and increase local self reliance, by giving us public fiber. So why do they keep protecting the big providers?
