Does include under the table crap?
They should, everything must be disclosed in the franchise agreement since those documents are made public. If there are any "behind the doors" extras and they are found out the city could wind up in court.

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).
