Re: THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH

Ok wait just a minute....

Who regulates the telcos? Not the munis, but the FCC. This a a complete bs argument.

And to take it a step further, the munis are subject to the same federal & state taxes that any other CLEC has to pay.

As to franchises, give me a break. Franchises are the biggest joke of all because the cities are limited to what they can ask for and what they have rights to demand based again on what? The FCC.

Most cable franchises allow the ability to set the price on the base offering - you know, the package that no one takes (just local channels, etc.)
