Here’s how it would work. The state and city provide funding to cover the cost of constructing a high-speed broadband network that would be built and operated by a public agency. Consumers would then be charged a reasonable fee to obtain access to the network. Like a public option for health-care consumers, this system is designed to promote competition. As an alternative in a menu of choices available in the marketplace, Internet for All would provide an incentive for existing telecom giants to reduce skyrocketing bills and improve subpar service.
