Re: Montgomery County MD Public Hearing
I assume you meant November 1st.
PG County Cable TV commission is having their public hearing today at 6:30pm. I plan to attend to give my support for FIOS TV in PG County |

Gaithersburg, MD | You put October 1 (instead of October 31) in your first post.
Do you think anything but a rubber stamp of the agreement will come out of this? Also based upon the comments to the County Exec. last month were any changes made? |

| Oh, indeed I did. Sorry about that - I corrected it.
Those are good questions PaulGo  . The exec should have posted a fresh copy.
As DonLibes pointed out, the council loves to make amendments. So I'll guess they probably won't just rubber stamp it. But I'll make a further guess: any amendments they propose will be voted down. |

But I'll make a further guess: any amendments they propose will be voted down. As I mentioned in my blog, I believe amendments are required before the franchise can be passed. There are just too many holes in it as is. The council staff report alone identifies 12 issues that it wants addressed.
So you don't have to slog through the blog, here's a direct link to a searchable copy of the council briefing packet. |

1 edit | The PDF Don linked to shows the proposed changes to the Verizon agreement. (Mostly related to service standards and some to build out). On my quick read it appears that Verizon is complying with most of the existing cable standards.
Pages 9 and 10 refer to the additional questions that the council wants Verizon to respond to.
