Franchise reform good...

...but the FCC talking about a cozy duopoly is sheer hypocrisy. The FCC were the ones that created the environment in the first place. Allowing exclusive franchises in the cable industry pretty much killed competition in that market. I still say there should be a neutral infrastructure that providers can lease to. This would eliminate the need for any of this.

I still say local franchises are good, and adding some regulation to make sure the municipalities don't abuse that is even better. We'll have to wait and see if this reform ends up being good for the customer, or just good for the telcos.

I think this is good that the FCC is giving some love to Teleco TV, but now I'm waiting for more deployment to see how the prices will compare to what I'm paying.
