Phone-Cable TV Battle Heats Up In Texas
An AP newswire article in Advanced IP Pipeline got my attention this evening, since it involved issues here in Texas (and I can tell ya, we've been seeing our share of special interest group commercials):
A bill that would make it easier for companies such as SBC and Verizon to sell TV service over their lines into their customers' homes was stalled in the Texas legislature on Wednesday.
The issue has turned into one of the biggest business issues facing House lawmakers this session, pitting telephone companies against the cable industry. Both sides pushed advertisements on TV and in the newspapers, claiming they were siding with consumers.
