Lazy cable installers have long draped coaxial over a customer's hedges and across their lawn instead of being buried or strung properly from pole to home. According to the Baltimore Sun, a new law would require that lazily draped cabled must be buried within fifteen days of a request or the company involved will face a fine. According to the Sun, both Comcast and Verizon lobbyists are locally working to prevent the new law, which would also ban the laying of cable across roads, sheds, trees, or other traditionally lazy install approaches. The two companies are trying different tactics, with Verizon wiggling past with legalese:While Comcast is arguing that the 15 day window is simply no fair:Under the proposed law, violating the fifteen day period without negotiating an extension would cost a carrier between $100 and $250 a day. Leaving a wire improperly strung over trees or structures would cost between $500 and $1,000 a day.
