So, hey, guess what? Missouri communities and taxpayers won't have to pay to build it but they will have to pay to use it. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch... or lollipop... or broadband.
Discussions are underway with Missouri internet service providers who could use the infrastructure to provide internet for nearly 1 million underserved Missourians.
Yes, they could use it, once they pay Grain Belt Express a fee for the service. And then they'll charge end users a fee to use it as well.
Invenergy will seek permission from landowners to consolidate this infrastructure in project easements along the Missouri Public Service Commission approved route.
Ya mean when they take the property using eminent domain, now extended for the use of broadband, too? Does this mean that anyone who wants to build broadband in Missouri can use eminent domain just like Invenergy?
I'm gonna spare you the rest of the garbage about how wonderful Invenergy thinks they are and how much they just love, love, love you and your community! I simply can't type when I'm retching.
If you see the Child Catcher in your neighborhood, it is recommended that you hide in your basement and don't come out, no matter how delicious the free treats are today. You don't want to end up in his cage.
