Funny, sounds like ATT back to being GOD of the telco world.

Stop crying ATT and apply for your license, why should you be any different than the cable companies. TV is TV no matter how you pipe it to the house.

You honestly think the state cares about "customer protection"? They want more money out of ATT, thats the real issue. How does limiting competition protect consumers??

Yup, and the so called "CUSTOMER PROTECTION" Comcrap customers get now provides what? Oh yeah, Comcrap STILL raises rates, on average, twice a year AND they STILL get crappy customer service. So yes, you are correct, they need the protection.

You got it right. The PUC decided to override the legislators and interpret the law against AT&T. They will lose in court, but that could take a year or more. In the meantime the PUC helps keep the cable monopoly in place and the payoff money they pay to towns flowing. The only losers will be the consumers who won't get a new competitor selling to them.

Satellite doesnt impede upon the city right of way or use any extra services of the city.

Neither does U-Vers or FIOS. They bring telephone and internet. With U-Vers the wires are already in place.

In New Jersey we have a state wide TV franchise. Capping has stopped and prices are steady.

Even better idea, pissing a company off so NO customers get the service.


The truth hurts

Cable monopolies recieved exclusive franchise areas in exchange for buildout commitments over 30 years ago

A second provider into a market does not get an exclusive franchise area and needs to win customers from the incumbemnt cable companies.

The Connecticut legislature and Governor established the new Video law to encourage additional entrants into the competitive video market. There are less regulatory requirements becsause the new entrants do not get exclusive franchise areas

The Attorney General and DPUC have it all wrong
CT needs to encourage business expansion and competitive alternatives / not kill them

It is apparent from this thread that most people here do not think logically
