Re: Government saying what is right for the people.
$39 million is $41 a sub/month over a 30 year bond. That is pretty high for a purchase. Either they expect to increase the sub count in a big way, or they serve some fairly wealthy clients. Even at Comcast rates the gross margin for a non internet sub will be very small.
Most commercial cable buyouts have been in the $21-$28/mo per sub range. The last muni analysis I saw was around $14/mo per sub. |

Tulsa, OK | There's probably more to it then that. The city is probably figuring the money they'll save in running their own network vs paying for it to outsiders at the moment. |
