[1st-mile-nm] Friedman on Chattanooga's fiber network

[Edward Angel]

The answer is easy to write down; not easy to carry out.

As you know, we did part 1 with the City's Communication Advisory Committee. We did a lot of work and gave the results to all the
people on the list. They didnt like what we had to say so we were immediately replaced by a new committee that seems more willing to tell them what they want to hear
or to not do much.

I have no idea of how you would get the message to the people who vote in a way that would get them to either put pressure on
their elected and appointed officials or get rid of them.
