Bloggers are almost uniformly against a bill to limit municipal Internet services.

A House bill that passed a committee yesterday would put restrictions on local governments that tried to start a broadband Internet utility.

Greensboro blogger Ed Cone writes that he's proud of his hometown for taking a stance against the bill, even if it long ago missed the chance "to distinguish ourselves nationally" with local services.

I'm delighted to see that the City of Greensboro regards public access to the internets as a big deal.

On Yesh.com, Chapel Hill blogger Brian Russell said his first time inside the General Assembly was "an eye opening experience."

I was there to oppose The Local Government Fair Competition Act. Man this bill is anything but fair for local governments and its citizens!

More after the jump.
