| WOW you can judge results after one whole year?
nice SLANT article instead of NEWS.
sorry local franchise control is a joke and anyone thinking otherwise is either ignorant obtuse or both. The only thing my local franchise authority ever got us is higher prices and fewer channels.
Cherry picking? That was going on already. Charter for YEARS in my state has given certain area upgrades while ignoring others. For example in some parts of my state you can get 16 Mbps internet here it's only 10 Mbps. In some areas you can get VOD, my area stil waiting even though the county right below me has had it for nearly 4 years. If that's not cherry picking then I don't know what is. So please. |

They had always been responsive to complaints from subscribers. Don't measure every local franchise authority by the yardstick of the obviously inept franchise authority in your area.

when I was having problems with comcast some years ago, I actually got on a first name basis with one of the guys in the county office. He always returned calls or emails and helped quite a bit - it's interesting how hard it was to get comcast to respond to me, but shortly after talking to Keith in the county office about a problem I would magically hear from comcast. |

Cherry picking is not, "They get VOD and we get PPV".
Cherry picking is, "We complained that we were not getting VOD, so they turned off our service, took down our nodes, put our address on the "no service" list, and left their wires behind and told us to deal with it."
