Mokurai writes: "Facing public backlash over a Senate bill that would outlaw community broadband services statewide, Sen.

The bill was reportedly "introduced by John Federico, a cable industry lobbyist."

I didn't see this on SlashDot when it was introduced, but the Internet definitely responded to the threat of damage.
