 johnsp join:2001-02-07 Syosset, NY | It's all about the money Don't forget the franchise fees you see at the bottom of your cable bill. DO you think you're local town wants to give that up? |

 | This would be just an added taxable service at the going telephony rate, which is a higher rate than the franchise fees applied to the cable industry. |

 | reply to johnsp Verizon is happy to pay the franchise fees. The issue Verizon has is meeting with every single city council to get approval. Plus Cable Co's go to these meetings to try and stall the process. The process is all very unnecessary. Let Verizon pay the fees and move on with offering video. |
