  Excluding cases where muni broadband doesn't suck, why does muni broadband suck?

  Personally I wouldn't mind more access to dark fiber à la Stokab, much like the dry copper pairs of yesterday.

  If the default state of muni broadband of is suck, what is the root cause? Is it a people problem and/or can 
something be done to improve on the default state?
