Kansas law to virtually prohibit broadband access

See this article and it is not an exaggeration. This KS legislation is based on ALEC's model which will, in effect, insured no internet access in certain rural areas of the State. Meanwhile it will provide a monopoly in other urban areas. Which of course is right up ALEC's alley; monopolies on the one hand and restricting access to information on the other so as to prevent knowledge of their activities. The American way all right.
