It's a horrendous thing for consumers but let's remember municipalities lured in cable companies to build in rural areas by promising little or no competition via exclusive franchising agreements. The municipalities usually get a small cut of profits from the cable provider as well. Blame TWC but also blame the municipality itself for 20-30 years of anti-competitive behavior and the voters who allow this to happen. If this passes it will be entirely consistent with the history of cable franchises. In the end this may all be a show to get a higher kick-back out of TWC.
