This is a partial reconstruction of the Lafayette Pro Fiber blog that John St. Julien ran for many years, chronicling the grassroots fight for and establishment of LUS Fiber in Louisiana. Many of the links have gone bad and images are missing, but most of the ideas are here and we believe well worth preserving.

Dear BellSouth,
As a citizen of Lafayette, and a customer of BellSouth, I would appreciate it if you would halt your attempts to thwart the fiber-optic plan by suing our city. It’s costing me money both ways. The city must spend money defending, and you must spend money attacking. I suggest you give the lawyers a rest, and use the savings to lower your rates. That might do more to preserve your customer base than all this litigation.
Eric Sweet
Lafayette
Amen.
