Not sure what Charter's improvements have to do with anything, though I'm happy for their customers in those areas.
The utility-owned cable co-op is a bit more interesting though. How is ownership broken down? Maybe I'm more fuzzy on my anti-muni-broadband law book than I thought.
The utility owned cable co-op is owned by the Greenville Electric Utility Services (GEUS) which is a municipal owned electric company.
Although TWC seems to blow them out of the water content wise even though it is on the lower end of TWC's offerings they have SDV on the TWC system there and only 99 HD channels.
Interesting. Guess they had the cable system online long before regulations outlawed it. I think Fredericksburg was going to do something similar as a public-private partnership with what is now part of Windstream, but then Time Warner Cable decided that it wanted to nip that sort of thing in the bud...and now muni Internet to residences (or anything from a utility other than dark fiber) can't exist.
