[1st-mile-nm] NM Legislature: Broadband Bills

[Christopher Mitchell]

Has anyone taken a look at SB53 from a consumer point of view?  To my
first, it looks like a deregulate CenturyLink bill - let them regulate
themselves and hope for the best. I have yet to see that approach result in
more investment or lower prices anywhere.
