Re: The only time I wax conservative...

AT&T and Verizon are stringing all sorts of new infrastructure in the ROW.

Where is the precedence for existing infrastructure to give unlimited access for anything new for all time, especially service which is under a different title in the Communication Act?

Who's going to pay the cities to defend themselves from the cable companies who will sue the city violating the Cable Act by not granting a franchise?

Once the ROW has been granted (which it has to the telecoms since they are running the data over existing cables) to require some sort of service to the city, e.g., filming the city's arrival of santa clause, is certainly a power grab.

How is this not interference in interstate commerce?
