Re: Sounds Good to Me said by marigolds:the city does pay indirectly for limited basic cable service for those who cannot afford it. Do they buy the TV that goes along with it? If someone is really that poor, I would think that CATV access is the least of their worries. Where does the socialistic mindset end?said by marigolds:All new building construction in a franchised city is required to give access to dwellings for cable television service. I assume your talking about apartment/office complexes and not necessarily private residences? |

Applies to private residences too, but the private residences do not have to allow anything beyond the walls of the building and the cable company has to make reasonable modifications to their building plans.
Basically, the property has to be wired and the cable company can place a pedastal on the property for service.
