| Re: Upon further review ... said by woody7  :If I'm not mistaken.....most of the cable companies got special "deals" from the cities that they installed in,easements, no competition, etc. No, exclusive franchise agreements between a single cable company and a city/township is illegal. The only exclusivity option is for condos and apartment complexes and the like. They are allowed to block any or all cable companies, but a city must allow a cable company must be allowed to build a network if the cable company agrees with the terms that the city wants(price per pole for right-of-way charges). |
