Re: Verizon Goes to Court to bring FIOS TV to Mont County MD Yeah - some post-vacation blues I guess. Oddly, the Amsterdam press didn't give the VZ vs MC suit much air time, so I was hopeful that all would be resolved and my neighborhood would be lit upon my return.
Has a date for the hearing been set?
Anything interesting happen at today's quarterly review (I wasn't able catch it)? |

PS: Did you get a council packet? I couldn't find one anywhere on the council website and I certainly haven't been emailed one as promised as per my rant the other day:And the Executive branch is not alone in its poor communication skills. The County Council home page has long advertised that citizens can sign up for council agendas and packets. And I have signed up - several times! But I've never received one. I finally called up this week and spoke to a council staffer who said that she wondered if any of the hundreds of people who had subscribed would ever complain. Evidentally, it was well-known internally that there was no automated mechanism to provide what the council has been advertising! Our county would fail its own customer service requirements. If it had any. |

I hunted around the county website and found them here - from the main county site, click "County Council" on the left, then "Agendas, Packets & Actions" on the left:

The packet for yesterday's quarterly review is here:

It looks like they skipped the TRO and are going for the preliminary injunction. I don’t think the court can order an agreement but imagine it could look at each disputed point and say this probably will or won’t survive the final decision. They might stop MC from imposing some condition or freebie, but make Verizon post a bond. I’m surprised the Federal 5% cap hasn’t been explored and decided by now. Hopefully we have an attorney or 2 that will have a better idea. |

Sorry for the title but "Quarterly Review" was too boring. If you can think of a better name, let me know. |
