Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there some sort of organization for Muni's that run cable services that collectively bargains on behalf of them for the programming rights? It would seem to me that this might be a place to jump off from in creating some kind of Municipal Broadband Support Organization. -- Click here to visit Tri-City Broadband
Are you referring to the NCTC? They provide programming to about 1000 small cable co's around the country, not just municipal, but anyone wanting to start a cable co could join them and buy programming through their master contract. -- Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!!
