Legislators frequently don't understand what the bills even do but are easily lured by promises of inexpensive TV service that never comes. but pass the bills anyway, and, then proceed to collect their bribes campaign contributions accordingly.
funny how before franchise reform passed in my state Charter never delivered service outside city limits. Then after state franchise passed Charter applied for and got one for the whole county. Now Charter is expanding to areas that it never bothered with before. Hmmmmmmm. I knew exactly where Charter services stopped in every direction in my county( because I'm a nerd about shit like that ) I can can verify they have greatly expanded their footprint in just the past 6 months since they received the countrywide franchise granted to them by the state thanks to this new legislation. Ironically Charter was against this and At&t was for this statewide franchising and when they had a chance to get a countywide franchise in my area At&t didn't even bother to apply.

Some friends that lived just outside city limits can now enjoy both Charter cable and more importantly broadband. Some that a bit further out still can't get it but it's MUCH closer than it ever was and it's only a matter of time before they get it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Correction-22449765 Wed, 27 May 2009 01:03:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Correction-22444532 but are easily lured by promises of inexpensive TV service that never comes. but pass the bills anyway, and, then proceed to collect their bribes campaign contributions accordingly.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Correction-22444532 Tue, 26 May 2009 09:27:27 EDT
