"You mean, my local municipality has a binding, perpetual contract with Comcast"
I don't disagree with your sentiment, but just to note:
Municipalities can't have exclusive franchise agreements anymore (since 1992).
- clauretano 13y agoThey can and do have franchise agreements where one provider gets the vast majority of the region, leaving only the less desirable scraps for someone else. As an example, see the cable franchise map link (in bold) here https://www.seattle.gov/cable/franchises.htm https://www.seattle.gov/cable/franchises.htm --thankfully it's not a perpetual contract.
