As it is now the two two primary cable/internet/phone providers in my area have their own buried lines in the right of way (grass between the sidewalk and street). One provider uses the coax wiring to carry signals while the other provider (FIOS) uses fiber optics.
Those lines I think are no more than 1-2 feet underground.
Perhaps a better solution is for some communities to just start kicking out ISPs completely and just putting down the 20k to set up their own internet node and pay the 1800 a month collectively
That could be the cost of like 18-20 people paying for high speed internet right now
Well, if you have ever sat in on a Homeowners Association meeting, getting a group of people to agree on assessing the members more money is not an east thing to do.
easy
A few years ago the county offered our subdibvision the chance to have a "gray water" system installed so that your water for sprinking/irrigation was reclaimed water. The per month charge on your water bill would be significantly lower but the per home initial installation costs were like $5,000. It was put to a vote of the homeowners and did not pass. The county would not do it unless a certain % of the homeowners had approved it.
"reclaimed" water is basically water from storm/sewage returns that undergoes some treatment but not the same level of treatment as drinking water.
Normally we have sprinkling restrictions (you get to water laws 1 or 2 days a week) but if you have gray water you can sprinkle unlimmited with no restrictions
People view money lost now as somehow more than the money you will lose in the future
But this is more like "hey, the town can put funding to this this year and we can kick out the ISPs and save everyone money or get better internet for the same cost
Some may not have the $5k to pay now. Some are elderly and figure they will not be alive long enough to recoup their investment. Some don't plan on holding the home long enough to recoup their money. A variety of objections wre enough for the effort to fail.
Well, if you have seen how some towns deliver on their promises/utilities/infrastructure then you might not vote for the effort either. 😉
Lol
They just keep fighting their own side. It’s great.
its one of those things that makes you question reality
Politicized food
kind of hypocricy though,
Its forbidden to eat food from a 'bigot'
But its also forbidden for a 'bigot' to not serve people
cant help but think something is about to happen
trump and kim in the same place

Nah, itll be fine
North Korea is probably at the end of their rope

Breaking 8 years old news
that one is so old the link itself even says 2010
why? .. why would they sabotage trumps biggest success story in the worst way possible?
There has to be a tangible benefit for the conspirators
the benefit is they wont ruin their election chances
If trump makes peace in Korea, he wins
not like a tangential may happen benefit, something that they can be assured of
