Re: Verizon should just take its football... said by BosstonesOwn:no thats pretty much politics. hold out until you get what you want. Yet another reason why local franchise agreements are a thing of the past. The local folks are even more corrupt then the larger government folks. Why PA needs a statewide law like many other states. The local pols are even more corrupt than the state and national pols because the light isn't shone on them by the press as often.

kudos:5 | So after the law/rule changes a few years ago that took away most city franchise agreements (if I recall correctly) -- that whatchamacallit that caused the states to make the statewide laws that you're talking about -- can Philadelphia actually keep Verizon out? What's the law here? |

What's the law here? I don't think Pa ever passed a statewide franchise law like other states. At least I don't remember them ever doing so.

kudos:5 | Right -- IIRC, that situation means that Verizon could not be stopped by the city. The city is required to allow it. |
