Re: Franchise agreements are needed...

That's fine but screws the consumers who would benefit from the service and additional competition...all because some local gov't sees the provider as the solution to their budget problems.

There nothing new here. Local gov't sees everything as a potential revenue base. From sin taxes (tobacco, booze, and gas) to intersection cameras that mail you a ticket and a fine for going to fast.
It is up to the telcos to negotiate the revenue that they are willing to deprive themselves of. I am in no way an advocate of the telcos, I just believe this should be either take it or leave it, or straight across the board flat tax.
This is the problem with TIFs, everyone negotiates better deals screwing their neighbor
