Comcast operates under a franchise issued by the City of Davis, while AT&T operates under a state-wide franchise issued by the California Public Utilities Commission."

They have a disincentive to make use of that infrastructure attractive to competing services. A municipal broadband fiber network, owned by the public and operated by a neutral party, would allow for increased customer choices of services. |
