I live in Tennessee and I'm still for statewide franchising. My local government can't do a damned thing right anyways. Giving them less money means less money they waste. Having "local" franchise laws have not done a damned bit of good. Rural areas still don't have cable and prices keep going up. Of course the higher the cable rates the more they collect in franchise fees. So why anyone would feel that "local" control is better is beyond me. You think you're local franchise authority is doing what good for YOU or for THEM?

 There is no reason ATT shouldn't jump through every hurdle Time Warner/Comcast/Bellsouth had to... and since it appears that not doing so does nothing for the people, no reason to do it what so ever. It's not like they CAN'T do it, they just won't if they have to work at it. Maybe if Verizon where coming with FIOS... but who gives a crap about ATT and their lo-tech approach anyway, we got enough hillbilly engineering in this state, thank you very much
