Comment Re:Technology centers will be distributed (Score 1) 171

Austin is on the edge of the Balcones fault which to the West is the Hill Country and to the East is farmland. Source? My dad is from the hill country, and my mom is from the farmland. I'm just an ex Dell IT guy who has been slashdotted several times, and whose great great great grandfather is buried next to Stephen F. Austin. Look at all the flatness. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fphotos.app.goo.gl%2F55kyoWxJNjComxF46 It is cool that you think movie depictions of Texas are real. Last time I was in Cali was E3 2019. Oooof. Saw Elon talk there with Todd Howard. I can't say I blame him. E3 2000 to E3 2019. Zero to do downtown LA at night to something to do, to hard to do anything without smelling feces.

So what. It will also force Time Warner and Grande to raise their top speeds which are 50 and 110 respectively, and just 80 for business customers for Grande, but at least they don't rip you off like Time Warner business class does. Uverse for business is affordable.

They have enterprise class fiber which is to the premise. I had it in 2006. They don't have fiber to the home as a product, its coax the last mile, unless you are ponying up for the enterprise class which is too expensive. They have also not been able to cross 2222 to where I can get cable at my home even though my sister a 5 minute walk from me had had it available for about 8 years.

Comment Re:competition (Score 1) 230

I'm from Austin, and sorry, but the legislature needs to open up competition. That money is largely wasted on moronic projects and our property taxes and business personal property taxes continue to rise with no attempts at really curtailing them as the schools continue to deteriorate to the point where I can not let my kids go past elementary school. So I'd prefer that money we 'save' back in the form of property tax relief instead of paying for a study for ever single dumb thing possible, and relining Shoal Creek for bicycles seven times over.
