Rogue Wolf Really Ties The Room Together join:2003-08-12 Troy, NY	reply to Chubbysumo Re: Wolf in Sheeps Clothing said by Chubbysumo: If the telecos and incumbents arent doing it(upgrading and repairs), why do they fight so hard and waste money on lawyers to prevent the locals from doing it? They choose to spend on lawyers rather than increase speeds and services. Something is wrong when you see that happening. It's because the telcos and cablecos are terrified that successful muni projects will spread, and that cities that ARE profitable to them will realize that it's cheaper to "do it yourself" than to continue to pay the comfortable monopolies/duopolies that operate there. Litigation is easier than innovation! -- I may have been born yesterday, but I've spent all afternoon downtown.

Chubbysumo join:2009-12-01 Superior, WI Reviews: ·Charter	oh really now? did you even read the article that this was about? it clearly states that Mediacom is suing Lake County for this or that, and then making (later proven false) claims just to bury the project in losses before it even gets off the ground. »m.startribune.com/business/?id=166061226 »www.muninetworks.org/tags-281 »minnesota.publicradio.org/collec···an.shtml time and time again, over every little thing, Mediacom pays lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars rather than invest it in the network that prompted the locals to build their own. Mediacom could have probably fixed all the problems with their Lake County network, and upgraded everyones service for the money they are dumping into litigation.
