https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/8xp4ja/18-colorado-local-governments-are-voting-on-city-run-internet-tuesday > In almost every election for the last 13 years, Colorado towns and counties have been chipping away at a state law that prohibits city-run internet. On Tuesday, 18 more local governments (a mix of towns and counties) will vote on whether to exempt their district from the Comcast-backed law, opening to door for municipal broadband projects. > Municipal broadband is when cities or counties build or lease internet infrastructure and deliver the service to the community at a cost, kind of like a utility. It can also be a public-private partnership, with the town working with private businesses to help expensive infrastructure get built out to reach more of the community.
