I do think that there should be some type of structure setup for remuneration to the cities so that they do not lose revenue when customers jump ship from Cable to Telco Video-over-Fiber services.</p> I think it’s about time that the cable companies’ get a little more competition.

RBOCs villifing the local tyrants. ROTFLMO. Only in America, baby.
