Time Warner update

The image “http://www.feversmile.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/time_warner_cable_sucks.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. TMW continues to silently follow two bills in the state legislature designed to protect municipal utility monopolies, such as cable television.

One of those bills has essentially been gutted, thankfully.

My friend Jay Ovittore writes, via Facebook:

S1004 will be in the Public Utilities Committee tomorrow and for the first time I don't have to worry about it. The Senate used a procedural rule to gut the bill and replace all text with new text that allows Progress Energy to convert some of it's Coal fired plants to Natural Gas.

The [sic] is not a mere mention of cable, municipalities, Time Warner, none of it.

HB1252 is still alive and I will track it as always.

For now we can all claim another victory against Big Cable!
