Believe me, budgeting for both legal, and PR to make Verizo<um><ahem>any
large proprietary carrier look greedy and malign is in my plans, yes. :-)
TTBOMK, Florida is not a state where Verizon succeeded in making muni
ownership of the phy layer illegal. And since they're on record that
a) they were cherrypicking and
b) they're done now
it shouldn't be too hard to suggest their intentions.
