The winners and the losers
• Loser: Provo City's socialized telecom service, iProvo, continues to flounder. A city councilman reported this week that the service lost an average of 115 subscribers per month last year while gaining an average of only 67. The highly subsidized fiber-optic delivery network appears to be losing out to other private networks offering competitive rates. That's hardly surprising. The city had no business entering such a competitive field in the first place.
