Most municipal fiber projects are successful. That is false that most cost-benefit analysis say this municipal internet is shit. Even when the municipality is losing money on the fiber network, if they successfully deploy it, the economic benefits tend to out way the loses.
A working fiber network would be better that what we have right now. At the very least we would have symmetric upload speeds. For example there is no incumbent ISP with fiber infrastructure to the existing residents.
While there is risk with any large project like this. This meeting is specifically about evaluating the costs and benefits with municipal fiber projects. Our councilors and city manager tend to be conservative. This is part of the reason municipal fiber is taking so long, they are slow to evaluate and won't start a project they think won't succeed.
