Minnesota has repealed its ban on community broadband.
This repealed a more-than-a-century old law that prevented municipalities from constructing "Telephone Exchanges".
This has happened in a number states, and it's good policy.
It gets better and cheaper broadband (good policy) and it's good politics, because people hate the cable companies and the telcos who use their monopoly status to abuse their customers.
Some politicians are beginning to realize this.
