Normally I'm all for privatization, but this is one place where I wonder if the city shouldn't own the physical plant, like they do with the water and electric utilities. In this way, you could maintain a competitive situation but avoid the "why should I allow competitors access to my lines" argument.
Also related to this argument is the fact that the City of Columbia owns a beautiful fiber loop that nobody can use but them and the university due to that bullshit CenturyTel lawsuit...

I'm not sure that's entirely correct, because about a year ago, we were talking to Ctel about a link to that fiber loop. They (CenturyTel) seemed to think it was possible.


We ended up turning up some point-point fiber across town instead, so I'm not sure if it's changed since then.
