Local media is parading this story like its a great news, but this is actually a huge step BACKWARDS for free, open, and fast internet in Madison County. The Request for Proposal process essentially rolls out the red carpet for a big brother monopoly like Comcast. If anything, opening it up to competition will ensure that those massive corporations will be the only choice in Madison County, complete with bandwidth caps and fast lanes. Im going to work on some sort of content that will explain this in more detail soon, but for now, please dont believe the hype on this. Its in all actuality horrible news.
