| Municpal cable sucks.
Cincinnati had it, though I am not sure if they still do. In the downtown area you had to get "City Cable" and boy did it suck. At least double what someone on the other side of Central Parkway paid with 1/3 the channels. Service provided by city employees which meant a simple broken cable went for 6 or 8 weeks. Couple that with the fact that it used to be illegal to install a dish inside of Central Parkway and you were just hosed.
It was so bad that bar owners would have DirecTV or Dish installed at their home and then rip the system out and put it in the bar themselves.
This is going to be just like any other city service aside from police and fire. Over promised, over priced and under delivered. It may start out really, really well but they will soon realize as Adelphia did and as Time Warner has that they have a monopoly and they will take advantage of it.
Within a short period of time it will be business as usual. |
