Wisconsin Realizes 'Franchise Reform' Was A Con > local franchise authority is con too

local franchise authority is con too

I agree that local franchise authorities don't do much of anything, and I know that here the money collected just goes in the general pot.

My point about local regulation is that if somebody does actually gives a damn, it's a lot easier to influence a local authority than to have any impact on a statewide authority. This is a particular concern with VRAD placement. Sure, there are NIMBY issues but for a profitable video service it's not reasonable that a handful of property owners should bear the brunt of placement of ugly cabinets that serve hundreds of customers. Not that I want to rehash that whole argument.

Maybe if there had been a more active role for local franchise authorities things would have been different.
