Re: Look at the latency requirements!

Regulation is a good thing, but what I am saying is don't expect them to take it lying down, because they won't. Rather then just comply, they will find a way to throw it back into the people's faces.

And most franchise agreements are long term things. IE, 20-30 years.

This argument works both ways. The reason for this regulation is BECAUSE of their poor performance. The regulation didn't spring into existence for no reason at all. So you can say it's the people's fault for making the regulation but it really isn't. It's Comcast's fault.

True but the franchise can be revoked for a wide spectrum of misbehaviors.

Exactly, and I agree... but Comcast won't.
