Re: So... the 1300 jobs cost Lafayette taxpayers $

I was thinking it had to do more with government competing in the free-market. When the government competes in the free market as a not-for-profit institution then no sane private or publicly traded company can afford to compete.

Private schools are doing just fine, even though free public schools exist. Lafayette won't be giving away subscriptions, so what's the problem?

Tacoma's Click! network is an example of a municipal system coexisting with investor-owned cable and telephone companies.

I don't see anyone going "belly up" over Lafayette's system, unless they're totally incompetent.
