" In a nutshell, a city in North Carolina got tired of slow internet for prices
that have gone through the roof and getting even more expensive. So, the city
took matters in their own hands and rolled out fibre optic cables throughout the
city.

The service, currently named Greenlight Inc., approached the Time Warner Cable
and Embarq, proposing they use the infrastructure for a more reliable and faster
internet connection for a cheaper price. The big cable companies refused, so the
government was left with all this infrastructure with no support from the big
telecom companies. After doing some research, the government found out that the
service would be extremely cheap to run and would give the government huge
profits. So, they decided to run Greenlight Inc. themselves."
