Municipal Internet bans by State Legislatures

A lot of cities and towns have been strangled by state legislatures from improving internet speeds for consumers -- but not Kansas --

“It’s dead”: Kansas municipal Internet ban was “stabbed, shot, and hanged” | Ars Technica: "Montgomery and other opponents of the bill are still sending letters to legislators every day. Between the negative press for the proposed broadband ban and a separate bill to legalize discrimination against gay people, Montgomery thinks Kansas legislators are in no mood to pursue anything controversial for now. "We are on top of it. We are not going to let it come back up," he said. "I think we did really kill the entire issue for at least a year."
