Colorado is a home rule state as per its constitution, so municipalities designated as "home rule municipality" (about 100 of em) has wide local powers delegated to it.
Also, our state assembly bill process is designed to slow roll changes in such a way that it can't be "slipped" it under the table or quickly.
TL;DNR - State assembly can't pass a law overriding this for the home rule cities, and our assembly system is built to avoid allowing crap bills through (at least quickly).

Publically, Dataminr and Twitter will talk about how the fed no longer has access.
Of course, this is a smoke screen.
There are only four outcomes here:
The Fed is/will just pull directly from Twitter through an agreement that makes Twitter serious $$$.
If Twitter balks at this then:
The Fed will continue to pull through Dataminr, but without telling the public or Twitter.
The Fed will use a broad National Security letter and the kangaroo FISA court to "force" Dataminr or Twitter to turn over the information. I use quotes in the Austin Power sense.
The Fed will contract through one of Dataminr's customers for the same data, thus giving Dataminr cover for it's claims as stated today.
If I was Magistrate Pym, I'd be furious. This stinks of gamesmanship. If she wasn't trying to run from this as quickly as possible, some hard questions could have been asked instead of granting the request ex parte:
Was the FBI previously aware of this approach?
Has the FBI tried this approach before?
If the FBI was previously aware, why was it not tried before filing the initial motion?
Did any government agency the FBI contacted recommend this approach before?
Why is this being tried now?
Is the party with this method a private or government entity?
If a government agency, was this one previously contacted?
If a government agency, and not contacted, why not?
Who initiated the contact with the other?
When was contact first made?
When was the offer to "hack" the iphone by the party first made?
Assuming that SCOTUS actually bought off on this bit of stupidity, it would be economic suicide for the US. Every tech company in America would relocate to another country.
We would then be forced to fall back on our manufacturing sector to generate GNP. Oh, wait...
You'll need additional in house networking equipment
Not Comcasts fault, but to take advantage of 2Gb/s to your computer also means an upgrade in your switching and NIC hardware to the 10Gb/s standard from the 1Gb/s you're probably on. $$$
Also, assuming you can find a site that will let you pull data at 2GB/s, you'll going to need a drive capable of ~250Mb/s write speed. So SSD it is.
Spain is applying different (and significantly more burdensome) standards than the rest of the EU, and I can't see any legal argument that would force a company to provide uniform service in a non-uniform compliance framework.
I think it is an incredibly simplistic viewpoint to say that "Washington corrupts everyone who enters."
Corruption isn't something that happens without consent - it's not iron + oxygen = rust. You need two parties to tango for it to happen.
Maybe a better way of putting it would be "Washington enables the already corrupted and the easily corruptible." I think that speaks more to the character of politicians that hold office and power in America. It also puts the blame squarely where it belongs instead of moving it off to an anthropomorphized object called "corruption".

I do agree with other posters that you could keep your current 1Gb/s infrastructure if you had multiple users carving up that bandwidth.
