less than 50,000 people live in wilson north carolina, yet they all shelled out over 560 each to pony up 28 million dollars... that doesn't sound right. i can believe it's possible, but this is a rinky dinky little city with about 3% of it's population coming from barton college alone.
(how many colege students do you know up and pony $560 for 1 single local tax?)
this doesn't pass the smell test.
who paid the 28 million dollars, and who pays for the yearly salary of the support people required to keep this net work up and functioning every day?

used to be you had to have a wire to get telephone/HBO, then cellular phones came about and satellite tv came about to compete against cable, satellite internet later came out. now we are on to wireless.
any one still complaining? go back to powering your pc on 5.25" single sided floppy discs and stuff your face hole with pie. BECAUSE HOW MANY GOVERNMENTS INVENT STUFF? remove the incentives and you will rot in stagnation. who wants to spend the next 3,000 years on 25MB/1GB internet?
