I think it is something to do with cabling deals Comcast did with local governments. Once Comcast lays the cables,
1- Nobody else gets permits to lay cables in that area. Governments can't even share the data about cable locations/network detail. You can ask, as a property owner if it is around a specific location and they will say yes or no.
2-The agreements also prohibit local governments from laying out public cables, like roads.
3-Xfinity won't share that network with anybody else.
Customers are stuck whatever Comcast deoes. These breaches have no meanining other than getting a check for $5-100 when they settle the lawsuit claims.
- jmclnx 3y agoSo true, but you may be living in a fantasy world if you think anyone will get anything from Comcast :) Just about anyone in the US knows what this means, you Comcast Bill will go up at least 10% as soon as the Fed Gov stop watching them for this breach.

- bozhark 3y agoSounds like piss-poor municipalities
- Arrath 3y agoIt can often be out of the municipalities hands. Cable companies are big enough to lobby at the state level, bypassing whatever the cities might try to do at a local scale.
