That’s because “the aforesaid rights-of-way used … are public properties held in trust on behalf of the citizens by the City and the right to use said rights-of-way is a valuable property right [and] the City … has determined that the public interest would be served by renewing Comcast’s franchise.” [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report advises to think globally, act locally.

The Arms Room in League City, Texas, has gotten the 'banned' treatment from Comcast. Comcast is the dominant cable player in the area and is flexing its monopoly muscle.
A petition was circulated and by now probably sent to Comcast hq to no effect.
These 'franchise agreements' are possibly the pry bar that will force these bastards to take gun biz money for advertising.
Frankly I'd end all 'exclusive' franchises but note that in other cities in Texas, 'non exclusive' franchises do not bring competition.
Show them this article--maybe they can take it down to the League City council and have more success at the local level.
Will keep you posted...thx
