No, I didn’t get in soon enough. That would be very interesting.
But probably wouldn’t save Utopia. The problem with Utopia isn’t so much the providers on it, but the providers access to the underlying network and the ability to upgrade it. Giving the munis the ability to directly sell connectivity doesn’t help anything. The funds to build out and connect more people still need to come from somewhere. I guess that means more bonds on the promise that the muni can somehow run the network better than a private ISP. That didn’t work for iProvo.

If that is adopted UTOPIA will become an ISP, not just a pseudo shell carrier for ISPs. (This is a Utah thing). But in areas where your local municipality is barred from competing, the landscape may change...

He’s my new hero. Michael O’Rielly is also starting off strong against this Title II crap. The strongest point I get from this is that the new law isn’t fully disclosed but being passed regardless and pushes special interest.
