Comcast's requirements... for comparison Comcast's existing franchise requires them to provide "13 analog video Channels for non-commercial public, educational and governmental use [PEG]", plus "up to 10% of the System's total downstream digital capacity for PEG use subject to a limit of 25 Channel Equivalents". All that is "in addition to any capacity provided on the Institutional Network pursuant to Section 7(h)".
Sounds to me like Montgomery County is requiring Verizon to provide about the same as they required from Comcast.
I have Fios and love it. Can't wait for Verizon to provide Fios TV so we can have real competition. But it sounds a bit like Verizon wants to unlevel the playing field in this case. |
