I guess with all the scandal going on here I am a bit sceptical. I potentially see a friend of the politicos in Chicago getting the contract, and afterwards, getting additional "fees" with a contract adjustment from the city.
reply to CableTool Actually I would expect RCN to put in a bid. RCN is already providing fiber optic communications for the city's network of security cameras. They made a deal to provide that service to get out of some heavy fines for 'redlining.' Da Mayor may twist their arm into providing another freebe.
