Re: Similar to Business as Usual

Franchise authorities should go the way side the same way out door antennas are.

The FCC should once and for all classify any provider that delivers void, video, an/or data as "broadband" providers and level the playing field. Eventually they will all use similar technogies like IPTV and VOIP to deliver services anyway.. the only thing that will divide these providers is the cable strung to deliver the services.

Maybe ALL companies should negotiate with an LFA, or they don't do it at all and they do in fact deal at the state level.

However, our law makers are not that bright in the first place and will continue to confuse the situation which will further delay advancements in technology - then claim they need to run muni systems because they can do it better.
