FCC Republican wants to let states block municipal broadband

"If the history of American politics teaches us anything, it is that
one political party will not remain in power for perpetuity. At some
point, to quote Sam Cooke, 'a change is gonna come,'" Berry said. "And
that change could come a little more than two years from now. So those
who are potential supporters of the current FCC interpreting Section
706 [of the Telecommunications Act] to give the Commission the
authority to preempt state laws about municipal broadband should think
long and hard about what a future FCC might do with that power."
