Re: [uug] OT Community news: iProvo on ZDNet

Wait a minute, Mike.  How many people who have water and electricity via 
municipal services wouldn't have them if they were provided strictly by 
private companies whose sole motivation was profit?  Don't get me wrong; 
I'm a Libertarian, and in general I'm all for the free market.  In this 
case, though, I think that community-run services may be able to do a 
better job.

Orrin Hatch doesn't forget to legislate your shiny new network to
death.  From the looks of it, this whole ``free market'' thing must be
getting quite annoying for Utah's constituents.
