Tacoma’s Click! Network is a publicly owned and managed wholesale cable network. It is a project of Tacoma Power, the local power company. To provide broadband, the city wholesales its cable Internet service to three small local Internet Service Providers (Net-Venture, HarborNet, Advanced Stream), which provide service directly to consumers. Tacoma citizens can choose among Click!, Qwest, AT&T for broadband services. This competition has led to lower prices for Tacoma users as compared to users in neighboring regions.
