Bill would prohibit municipal public networks

July 7, 2005

A bill, Preserving Innovation in Telecom Act of 2005 (HR 2726) , is introduced byTexas Republican Pete Sessions prohibits state and local governments from offering any public telecom or networking services in competition with private companies. More detail

It’s interesting this bill is called “Preserving Innovation In Telecom Act.” Should it be called “Destroying Innovationin Telecom Act”?
