Re: Something small...something big said by ricep5:a farmer on a Georgia city council getting a load of free fertilizer, it was starting to get out of hand. (go google it) Do you have some suggested searches?
I could not find the story after several different searches.
I've actually been through a franchise negotiation, and it is very easy for a cable company to get a franchise through if they want to force it. Stopping a franchise is difficult to impossible. The time requirements the FCC has imposed take out the one major barrier from a city, which is dragging out informal negotiations with the threat of the cost of formal negotiations. Now a company can just bite the bullet and jump into formal negotiations and force a 90-day timeline and completely skip informal negotiations.
