Re: Aah I love my county...well sometimes said by Thatgeekinit:
Franchise fees are actually just the taxes they are required to pay to the county which they pass on to the customers directly as a form of lobbying so that when they suggest that the "franchise fees" be repealed the voters think that they are the ones who are supposed to pay them and that it is a utility tax.
Cable providers can only pass up to 5% of the franchise fee on to subscribers. said by Thatgeekinit:
I think the next thing they need to do is mandate 256 or better upload speeds.
As far as I know, Facekhan, the standards aren't yet finalized. Why not let the county executive hear your views? |
