631: Micro Propaganda
Council of Mayors, Common Core, Municipal Broadband
The U.S. Conference of Mayors passed resolutions reaffirming support for Common Core standards and the implementation of municipal broadband. While framed as promoting competition, the hosts argue that mayors often create local monopolies by granting exclusive rights to companies like Comcast. The resolutions also use "net neutrality" language that emphasizes the regulation of "lawful" content, raising concerns about future internet censorship.
