What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
There is a library that was given free internt. The city manager has taken the physical cable and plugged it into a router so as to gain 4 additional physical lines so as to receive free internet for the city, the fire department and the police department.
I should have clarified that the company (Mediacom) supplies free internet to Publiic Libraries. Therefore, this is not a service that the city is paying for. This is a free service that Mediacom offers to Public libraries only. The city just decided to take this free service (The physical Cable) which was offered to the library only and exploit it to gain free wired internet for the city, fire department and police department offices. As a further note, the Library and the other offices are all located in the same building, if this makes any difference.
My question is, is this federal wire fraud?
