I like it!! I have been a big fan of municipally-operated utilities, having lived in Seattle my whole life and lived with Seattle public utilities (power and light, water, sewer, garbage). I think we pay fair prices and the service hasn’t been anything for me to complain about – tasty water and consistent electricity/garbage pick-up. In a day and age when an informed population is essential, i don’t see why municipally-operated broadband should be any different. What we have now (and have had for a long time) is essentially cable provided by a monopoly, with very few customers willing to sing their praises.
