But wait...

...I thought AT&T has been saying that their service isn't cable, so it isn't subject to the cable franchising laws.

So why do they need a state-level cable franchising law?

AT&T has done the math and figured out that paying politicians and lobbyists to the state legislature is cheaper than paying to local authorities. instead of building mayor McCheese a pool, they will be building Senator and Representative of the state of XZY pools.

Please read some posts above yours. The pool story has never been confirmed from the people who originally cried wolf.

you missed the point. the money is still flowing from AT&T to those in power. just fewer of them this time. it's still just about money.
