I'm curious.  How would one begin a petition?  It's been kicked around 
lately for West Jordan.  I would be very interested in getting something 
like that started but lack an understanding of politics.  At least for 
now.  I am learning how this crap works :-)

I don't think it would help much since I don't live there but I did 
email your city council.  I also explained to them what companies such 
as Comcast are doing to it's customers who violate the "invisible 
bandwidth limit".  There are several people in the Sale Lake Valley who 
are very upset with Comcast and don't want them to be the only game in 
town.  Utopia would solve many of those problems.  A company goes crazy, 
fire them and go with another Utopia provider :D
