Re: Good ruling that slows blackmail by local gov't

You're right. No other cable company is interested. With the initial capital investment needed, it's not attractive for a second provider to come into MANY places and over build another.

I'm not sure where Camden TV is, but unless it's a Chicago sized city where there is a large population, I doubt you're going to see any desire to spend that much money only to get a small return.

It's cheaper and easier to buy someone out than to over build. All a second provider will do is take a portion of customer from the other company, not really scrape up new ones.
