A bill making its way through the Colorado General Assembly is tackling
one of the tools that big incumbent ISPs use to secure their positions

HB 1099 passes, and other states see the savvy behind this approach,
community leaders and advocates for a competitive broadband market will
be able to put a chink in the monopoly armor.
