PA Limits Municipal WiFi

At a time when the digital/broadband/wireless divide remains real and retains the potential of seeing certain urban and rural neighborhoods trying to catch up to the communications and business opportunities passing them by, Pennsylvania now has a law supported by Verizon that severely limits a municipality's right to provide WiFi....Whether or not any city should spend resources on this should, IMHO, be the decision and right of that city in deciding on the benefits to its citizens..and having a bit of competition and spur for the private sector is a good thing...unless, it seems, when the reality of that seems more problematic than the theory...
