Chattanooga has it. Morristown has it. AND, Lenoir City is getting it!

Please do. They do it in other cities and towns around the state. Give Comcast competition.

KUB says they don't do municipal broadband because Knoxville has enough competition. In my house I can have Comcast broadband, AT&T that maxes below the Federal broadband specifications, or spotty satellite internet. Two of those aren't even realistic choices for today's connected home.

This is really important to our local communities. Think about how many businesses rely on dependable, fast, and affordable internet; and how many will move to neighboring counties and areas that offer better service.

Absent of serious market competition, we're effectively treating internet like a utility already--except we're allowing a private corporation to siphon off the profits. Might as well roll it into KUB and stop letting Comcast fleece Knoxville and E. Tennessee.

Choice of internet provider is important to a growing community, please help Knoxville get out from under Comcasts rule.

By offering public broadband internet, KUB could advance Knoxville's interests by making the city more attractive to companies that rely on the internet for business.

Jackson Energy Authority in Jackson, TN offered fiber optic cable Internet and it was great when we lived there.

Satellites in space, but no reliable internet here in Knoxville. If our city continues with their plans to grow, then they must provide capable and affordable communication avenues for all.
