Who regulates the telcos? Not the munis, but the FCC. This a a complete bs argument.
And to take it a step further, the munis are subject to the same federal & state taxes that any other CLEC has to pay.
As to franchises, give me a break. Franchises are the biggest joke of all because the cities are limited to what they can ask for and what they have rights to demand based again on what? The FCC.
