Municipal Broadband

Does anyone know of any projects to create municipal broadband in Eastern Massachusetts? Considering the possibility of the death of net-neutrality, I was just wondering if there are any efforts in that direction.

(Yes, I know the Senate managed to vote to save net-neutrality. I doubt it will get by the House.)

There seems to be a revival of interest in Cambridge municipal broadband, e.g. http://cambridge.wickedlocal.com/news/20180508/cambridge-sets-goals-to-tackle-digital-divide-with-affordable-broadband
