Re: Verizon Goes to Court to bring FIOS TV to Mont County MD

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.
I cannot imagine this going to court. It's all about money. The lawyers can make that decision tonight. 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.

 I could say the same about Verizon and my phone bills. 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.
