Town Hall on Video Franchising

David Cohen, Executive Vice President of Comcast, hosted a town hall meeting on video franchising featuring experts on franchise issues from counties, state legislatures, utility commissions, and cities.  It was a lively discussion of a big issue facing our industry. The cable industry supports fair franchise reform that expedites entry for new providers while establishing a level playing field for all competitors.  Whatever framework Congress chooses, it should allow the market to decide winners and losers by making sure all players have to follow the same rules.
