That is actually one of the big picture scenarios we are reviewing, with the ISP component being the last to go if there is a fair and competitive market the arises for our constituents. We won't allow the return of the old monopoly play that existed back then. This is too vital for the growth of our business community. We also view it as a quality of life issue for our citizens.
There you go, Art: as the muni, the goal is the *public good*; it can break even, or even lose money, if it increases the tax revenue base by making the city more attractive for both residents and businesses.
