Verizon Sues Maryland County Over Cable License

Jeremy Pelofsky writes for Reuters:

Verizon Communications Inc. filed a lawsuit on Thursday to invalidate a Maryland county's licensing process to offer subscription television service, arguing it was illegally delaying its expansion plans.

In what the No. 2 U.S. telephone company described as its first lawsuit of this kind, Verizon argued Montgomery County's franchising process violated U.S. antitrust and communications laws as well as free speech rights under the Constitution.
