I remember ~ a year and a half ago getting FIOS internet and hearing about FIOSTV in a few months..... well now I see what happend to that. Hope this lawsuit is quick and painful. Honestly Comcast has WAAAAAY to much power here in Montgomery County and I have NEVER been happy with them. GO VERIZON

I guess the best we can hope for is the lawsuit motivates MoCo to meet VZ halfway in coming up with a workable franchise agreement. If it actually has to go to court to settle we might as well kiss FIOS TV goodbye until 2008.

But if they spend 2 years in court, they're just flushing that money (that they're arguing about) down the toilet. I especially liked the part of the complaint where Verizon said: The county does not need the money. It is projecting a surplus of roughly $1 million for its cable fund in fiscal year 2007. It contains a bit of truth but a bit of hyperbole as well. Oh yes, these two could be at it for years.

Why should I pay these bills in full? Verizon has a huge surplus - they don't need that much of my money! I do think some of Verizon's complaints are valid, even if this particular justification is somewhat specious.
