I can't imagine anyone on the government's negotiating team actually believing they could need so many public access channels. I think it's more likely they knew VZ was going to balk and that they figured they could pare down their channel number demands as a concession later in the negotiating process.
Inflated public channel numbers aside, the county should definitely be reserving some purview over wire placement; that's just common sense. If they don't lay down the ground rules for what/where/how on physical line placement, residents are sure to get the raw end of the deal. -- Visit the land of the never-setting sun |
