Re: Umm hello said by whiteyonenh: On a side note, reading over cable commission meeting minutes is interesting. In my town, Time Warner Cable never intended to offer cable internet, and only started offering it when the city stated that it was required to renew the franchise agreement. Hm, I'd be curious to see how that worked as the FCC in 2002 declared cable internet an information service, not subject to the franchise....

Your earlier point brings up a potential problem? of franchising, which is the length of the the term. Considering these are 10-15 year agreements, the city/commission (and the company, for that matter) better be sure that they can live with anything signed for that length of time.
