Could municipal broadband provide another way online if net neutrality rules go away?

A Q&A with Christopher Mitchell, director of Community Broadband Networks for the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. 

The FCC is poised to overturn net neutrality this week. One possible alternative to get online? Municipal broadband. Asked, "[A]t the federal level, of course, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has said he wants to get rid of regulations that are keeping internet service providers from entering the market, sort of as part of this rollback of net neutrality provisions. If that happened would it help municipal broadband? Could it remove some of the barriers?" Mitchell said, "The only way that it would help cities and people more generally is that it would lead to more cities considering this and cities being more aggressive because the big cable and telephone companies would likely abuse their new power. But the internet will still be there behind the scenes and cities can build their own apps and get around the barriers that the big cable and telephone companies are producing."
