When the FCC voted in favor of video franchise reform, a number of concerns were raised. One of those concerns was that the requirement for municipalities to make a decision about new competitor applications within 90 days was a violation of local authority. Another was the issue of whether or not the FCC could even make those decisions, and it was predicted even then that the issue would end up in court. It has; an appeal was filed requesting a stay motion. And the action isn’t just happening in court; check out this article showing that Verizon paid $80,000 last year to lobby the government on the issue.
