Colo. Bill to End Muni Broadband Ban Nears Finish Line

A Colorado bill to end a 2005 state ban on municipal broadband cleared the House Local Government Committee. The panel voted 11-0 for SB-183 at a hearing Wednesday. The full House plans to consider the bill Friday. The Senate voted 31-4 last month to pass the measure, which would repeal many parts of the Colorado ban known as SB-152 (see 2303230076).
