10 granted a cable service or video service authorization pursuant

7 cable service or video service, that sum to be determined in
8 accordance with the provisions of subsections (3) and (4) of
9 this Section, and provided further that the holder of a
10 State-issued authorization constructing or installing those
11 cable service or video service facilities shall agree to
12 indemnify the owner of the real estate for any damage caused by
13 the installation, operation, or removal of the cable service or
14 video service facilities and service.
So, if I own property and AT&T decides they want to build a building on MY property, there's nothing I can do about it??!?!!!?!!!???
Personally, I prefer a level playing field for all players in the video arena.
I live in a lower-caste area and I'm sure that AT&T would have no plans to service my neighborhood, unless forced to provide service to the entire area by a franchise agreement. |
