People have been pushing for municipal-owned fiber for a long time in SF: https://www.change.org/petitions/make-fiber-broadband-a-prio...

But the Mayor thinks that WiFi is good enough. :-(

ATT's last-mile copper solution will barely be better than their current "Uverse".

The City (SF) has tons of fiber running all over the City. With some infrastructure investment, it would not be hard to use that as a backbone for municipal fiber. Residents can then sign up with any of the 3rd parties to jump on to the Internet.
