the FCC unlawfully inserted itself between the State and the State's political subdivisions
Regardless of the merits of municipal broadband, and bought-and-paid for legislators, the powers of local governments are given by state constitutions and laws. The feds simply have no constitutional say in it.
They can stop states or local from outlawing various bands or having jammers, but they can't grant powers to localities against state wishes. The state authorizes the localities and gives them life.
