Time Warner Wins Ohio-Wide Cable Franchise

An anonymous reader writes "Time Warner Cable has received a state-wide franchise agreement in Ohio. Time Warner's agreement covers 260 communities in 60 of Ohio's 88 counties, for 10 years. AT&T was the first to earn a state-wide franchise contract, after a law was passed in September that allowed operators to negotiate a single state-wide agreement. In the past operators negotiated franchise agreements at the local level."

Re:Reaganomics ?!?

Do you even know who Ronald Reagan was?

Yeah, unfortunately I and many others suffered under his rule. Well, not exactly his rule since he was already senile when he entered office. I watched my parents investments and dividends and retirement bennies go up in a puff of smoke because of the business atmosphere that administration created. And I can tell you this. The IRS took 70% of my father's income, and my mom didn't have to find work to make up for it. Your Ronnie Reagan made it necessary to have three incomes to raise a family. Yeah that trickle down was a real winner that was. You don't know what you're talking about if think he was some kind of hero. Sounds like you never saw past the headlines.

Some of you left-wing kooks...

Easy to see what you're all about. And I don't get my politics from the TeeVee. Watch Showtime? Please! Something tells me you know nothing of life before Reagan.

Yippie! Another battle between "left-wing kooks" and "right wing religious whackos" Have a nice day :-)

Very rude of me to reply twice, but here's a much more concise answer to your question

Yes Reaganomics. That which places big commercial or business interests above all else. A true leader of the mercantile class.

You're welcome

Does this mean we're going to see 48 more of these stories on Slashdot as the concept spreads across the rest of the country? Talk about a waste of bandwidth.

Don't worry, the bandwidth won't be a drop in the bucket compared to the "microsoft is evil," "google is a search engine," "Ubuntu Jumpin Jackass is awesome," "RIAA," and "people modify wikipedia" bandwidth wasting stories.

Why isn't somebody in jail over shit like this? This is Ohio. Thanks to Ronnie the Con Artist, our state's now against the Free Market Dogma.
Now our main industry is corruption. Manufacturing and other jobs are now our exports.
