Why does Comcast continue to fight fiber installations when 5G is on the horizon and likely to draw consumers away to the other big providers (AT&T, Verizon, and others)? To me, that seems like the bigger battle for Comcast.

Secondly, does anyone think it wise to bond $145m as the city did with wireless advances on the horizon? Especially when so far only a couple dozen homes have been connected?

I suppose Comcast can and will fight on multiple fronts, so going after municipal services isn’t mutually exclusive to 5G, but both seem like a losing battle for ‘ye olde Comcast. I just wonder if in 10 years we’ll hear a story about how Comcast “saved” a city $150m by lobbying against a fiber project and prevailing but all the residents ultimately left Comcast for a wireless provider.
