Yep, U-Verse was given a statewide franchise, so they can go wherever the fuck they want, cable franchises be damned. No reason Park Ridge couldn't grant multiple franchises, though, aside from getting less cash from each. Elgin has two (Comcast and WOW), plus U-Verse. My little burg has a non-exclusive franchise with Mediacom (sucks!), so if Comcast wanted in tomorrow, all they'd have to do is sign and lay cable. -- Kristian Zoerhoff kristian.zoerhoff@gmail.com
