Looking at the NoGovInternet site [1] mentioned in the article, their arguments against municipal broadband seem to mostly revolve around financial sustainability. They cite a paper that claims that 90% of such efforts fail to generate enough revenue to be self-sustaining.

To me that seems like a strange argument against a municipal service. Surely no one expects other things like road maintenance to be financially self-sustaining?
