I would be upset. As someone who doesn't use cable tv (or satellite or any tv for that matter) I would NOT be happy having to pay for it.
The internet, on the other hand, is nice. But as with anything, competition is best, and 75 years is an AWFULLY long time.

I think Stevenson's Ranch, CA had a similar arrangement when it started up (TimeCast?) - a local only telco and cable provider (city is Mello roos to begin with  ). Time Warner took over a few years ago... and finally took over Comcast in Valencia as well. |

said by nklb  :I would be upset. As someone who doesn't use cable tv (or satellite or any tv for that matter) I would NOT be happy having to pay for it. I'm guessing if it was that upsetting to you, it would have heavily factored in your decision to not buy into the neighborhood. |

| Exactly.
Read the contract before you sign it, folks. Last time I bought a new truck, I took all the paperwork home and read it before I signed it.
The salesmen was B-E-N-T, but I told him I wasn't signing it until I read it.
There was nothing shady in it, but I'm not taking chances when tens of thousands of dollars are on the line...
