b"If there ever was a sign that the floodgates on community broadband have fully opened, it's\\xa0this Election Day as 46 Colorado communities vote on taking back their right\\xa0to build\\xa0public networks. Get election results here on Gigabit\\xa0Nation's special in 90-minute\\xa0broadcast. Is this going to be a clean sweep?\\n\\nKen Fellman, general counsel with the Colorado Communications and Utility Alliance, joins us with summary analysis of how\\xa0the communities voted and what do these results mean for broadband in the state. Fellman and host Craig Settles also will\\xa0call on\\xa0some of the towns and counties to get first-hand observations, and thoughts on\\xa0how the communities\\xa0will proceed.\\n\\nAnother topic of discussion is the impact that the election results will have on the competitive landscape of the\\xa0state. The day after last year's election, Comcast announced a statewide increase of their broadband speed. What might incumbents do this year in the face of what is expected to be an unanimous consensus for public broadband by the electorate? Will the winds of change blow\\xa0over into other states with restrictions on municipal broadband?\\n\\nMy latest book on broadband\\xa0strategy goes into depth about how to deal with states that have restrictions on public broadband."
