Re: Let them have their way... said by patcat88:Easier thing to do, revoke "license to use public property for the public good", they have 24 hours to remove their property off the ROW or they will get a huge littering ticket. People can switch to cell phone or Cable TV VOIP. Courts would stop that so fast your head would spin. |

PUC proposes and passes new rules according to delegated powers by state law, then fines the ILEC into bankruptcy, then seizes telco infrastructure to ensure service quality through the bankruptcy trial. |

Sorry, but the US isn't Cuba or Venezuela where the gov't can confiscate private property without court hearings and compensation.

But the wires are sitting on PUBLIC property. There is no right to keep ANYTHING on public property. Lets see how long my abandoned, no plate, with 5 tickets on the windshield car will stay parked on public property. |

You're both right. But, I think you're more right. Conservatives tend to overlook all the "socialism" involved in the creation of a private enterprise like cable, telcos and internet carriers. To them, after that initial ugliness is over, it's just a "free market." Any recognition of ongoing social interests is "socialism."
