They'll probably just pass a law that states can't do this? Just like many states passed laws against municipal fiber.

I've been told since at least 1980 that small, local government was best. I was given the impression that state level government was probably the optimum level to decide things, cities and counties could go off the rails in various ways.

I haven't see a coherent rationale for reversing course on this doctrine, which was extremely strongly held, and cited a lot.

There is a rule of subsidiarity -- problems have to be solved at the lowest level possible, because it has the most information. If it's not, it bubbles up to the next level upwards. EU, US and Catholic church all do this to the various degree.
