After watching the KFVS story, my wife asked, "What did you mean by 'the City has forgotten who helped them get to where they are today?'." In 2002 when City Cable announced that it was considering doing Internet service, our company had thousands of dialup customers in the Poplar Bluff area. MyCityCable had 0 customers at that time. The City Council voted to open their Cable Internet service up to all ISPs and encourage companies like semo.net to bring their dialup customers onto the network.

semo.net has been around since 1995. Long before City Cable provided Internet service...semo.net was here...and for years to come, semo.net will continue to provide great Internet service in our area. Of course this move by the city is disappointing. And in this economy, it would not be fair to say this isn't going to be detrimental to our current business model. But remember that the same ingenuity that created & sustained semo.net is still at work within our staff.

The ordinance written shortly before 7pm was read and approved and became law tonight. For the next 3 months, ISPs will pay the current rates (which were raised by City Council in January 2010) For the following 12 months, ISPs rates will increase by 43% (semo.net's rates were estimated to increase by over $8,500/month) After 15 months, MyCityCable will be the only ISP on the Cable Network Here are the financial numbers provided by Mr. Bach to the City Council and the Municipal Utilities Advisory Board showing how Mr. Bach calculated the new rates to be charged to the Open Access ISPs.
