Maybe this is a stupid question, but why is it so bad to let people provide for themselves? Kansans should be prevented from running their own ISP? Why? Doesn't that idea seem contrary to self-governance? It's really depressing that people cannot legally say "screw you" to big telco/big cable and do their own thing. Somebody enlighten me, please.
