I did not understand why Comcast and the other ISPs oppose these initiatives. After the city loses a ton of money running their own ISP, Comcast (or the ISP of your choice) will always be ready to pick up the pieces.

Only it doesn't always work out like that. In Chattanooga the local provider displaced Comcast as the largest ISP and they are making good money.

Also competition is bad. People might get ideas...
