Can San Jose choose freedom?

Comcast is suing San Jose on First Amendment grounds.
SJ's quid pro quo for renewing Comcast's cable monopoly was providing public internet access for the council.

So here's a radical suggestion. Instead of handing out a monopoly, open the cable poles to anyone who wants to run wires on it. Encourage community wireless networks to be formed.

Anyone want to help lobby for this? Offer advice? sjcable@epeus.com
