Did officials unduly press consultants for iProvo?

Why on earth would provo city get involved in providing a product that the market is already providing efficiently and effectively? I thought I would lend my support and I tried both iProvo providers. The phone (under both providers) was dangerously unreliable. I don't think there was a ever a week that the phone service wasn't out for at least a few minutes (and often for much longer). After the phone went down for TWO WEEKS under the second provider (actually the phone never was fixed and we never did get a refund for all that down time) we switched everything back to Qwest. The internet is just as good and the TV and Phone are superior with Qwest and the reliability is, as they say, priceless. iProvo needs to cut their losses and get out. It was a big mistake and for what reason? It just isn't any good.

Councilman Turley,

Stand firm and bravely, Sir! Though alone you cry out at this injustice, you stand well.

IProvo is a failure; it was destined to be from conception. This highly competitive and specialized area of technological and financial expertise is not one in which public moneys should ever be GAMBLED.

The only understandable reason for Provo originally entering into this highly risky scheme was to expand Socialistic control over taxpayers. By falsely believing, and then foolishly promising, that it could provide something for nothing (or, greater value for substantially less) Provo rushed toward Nirvana and again found that such locale, like every other promised UTOPIA, is still fictional.

If that highly risky foolishness was honestly not apparent to every other Councilmember before they approved it, surely today they must be painfully aware of the wrongheadedness of their direction. To continue this loosing venture, by further posturing to protect their egos, further belies their sworn duty to the citizens of Provo.

IProvo has clearly demonstrated; it's a FAILURE.

It's time to abandon this sinking ship before more lives are lost.

Wake up Provo City Councilmembers!
Your Emperor has no clothes!
Quit paying good money to those dishonest and incapable tailors!

Is there a way to rid our-self of Steve Turley?

This guy has no idea of how a telecommunication business is ran or operated.

WHINE.....WHINE.....WHINE!!!!!
