[1st-mile-nm] Should Denver city government enter the internet business to compete with Comcast

[John Osmon]

No -- Denver city government should not enter the internet business to
compete with Comcast.

However, Denver *SHOULD* provide connectivity between residents and
multiple ISPs so that the citizens can partake in a true competitive
market.

If you utilize the public right of way, you should not be able to be an
ISP.  You can merely connect end users to the ISP of their choice.
