So municipal internet and television service?

Oh, wait. Never mind. The committee members all just got free high speed internet.

You realize municipal internet and television in Worcester would be run by the same grade of people as DPW trash collection right?

Not necessarily. Look up EPB in Chattanooga if you've never heard of them. This company should be a model for any effort to create a municipal broadband service. It's a large, extremely well managed and successful business owned by the city that as of last year rolled out 25 gigabit service.

You can get 1Gbps for $68/mo. The 10gbps is pretty cost prohibitive at $300/mo, but the 1gig service is cheaper than what I pay Xfinity.

If it bothers you, get involved in local politics. Attend council meetings. Reach out to councilors. Support your preferred candidates.

Things don't change unless we make them change.
