Cable/sate bitching. which I find ironic because thanks to the so called pro-at&t reform Comcast and Charter can ALSO get statewide franchise and not have to deal with city by city which you'd think they prefer.
Actually most of the changes to the franchise rules favor telecom upgrades only as they typically allow statewide franchises for IPTV. Most cable cos do not yet do IPTV and may not for some time so no, they can not get statewide franchises in most cases. I believe a much older bill governs cable co. franchise requirements. So I would say they have pretty good reason to bitch. --
