said by axus:Really the best thing they could do is sell TV and internet at cost, and hope that Google is discouraged from spreading. I think there would be antitrust restrictions on funding below-cost prices here from internet/TV in other parts of the country.
You can google this, the city of North Kansas City used a ton of excess casino revenue to build out their own fiber service delivering internet and tv several years ago. TWC sued to prevent them from doing this, and LOST! Poetic justice right? I think the service is called Linkcity and can be found at linkcity.org.
TWC has been getting it from all sides here in KC over the past 10 years. Linkcity, EverestKC and Uverse. All competitors and in their markets. Plus Sprint's home is here.
As they say in the show 'Oklahoma': "everything's up to date in Kansas City"!
