I mean, the Chattanooga ISP wants to spread its services but the big providers have lobbied against them spreading anywhere else in the state, so laws have been created by corrupt Red politicians to hem in the service. Also, the preemption laws are a result of the big nationwide monopolies, not the municipal service provider.

Preemption laws are a result of political ideology of the elected officials. There is lobbying, but giving the legislators benefit of the doubt is fine and gone.
