Excellent piece on public libraries in US. 90% of funding is LOCAL - meaning the battles to build and sustain civic infrastructure don't get attention on national level - & civic infrastructure & innovation is unevenly distributed based on $ & politics getpocket.com/explore/item/a…

@JRosenworcel acknowledges that local franchise order represents a growing political trend to cut out local officials from infrastructure development decisions #SaveCommunityMedia

This is an important issue. Schools should have the option of building their own internal fiber networks - they exist to educate, not to be cash cows for telecom firms.
