FTTH brings Democrats and Republicans together
In the U.S. Congress, both parties are enemies of Internet-based progress. The Republicans support the telcos and cablecos while the Democrats side with the Kontent Krabs.
In Lafayette, Louisiana, though, it is a different story, both parties support Lafayette's Fiber to the Home municipal networking effort!

While our committees came to our conclusions differently - BOTH partiesThe Republican endorsement is here and the Democratic endorsement is here. The main opposition, hopefully left out in the dark lonely cold on Referendum Day (July 16), is populated by BellSouth, Cox Cable and the Heartland Institute.
agree that this opportunity is good for Lafayette. This decision is
landmark and we have the ability to set our community apart and
distinguish ourselves for many years to come as a leader in technology
innovation and implementation.
Because Fiber To the Home & Business is truly a “tide that will lift all
boats”, create competition, lower costs, and improve Lafayette’s
technological infrastructure, we ask that you make a concerted effort to
get out and vote “YES”, whether you are voting absentee, from Tuesday,
July 5th – Saturday, July9th, or at the polls on Saturday, July 16th.
Fortunately, all politics is local.
