Statewide Franchise Illegal? Detroit Sues Comcast

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-sounds-desperate dept.

jqpublic13 writes "The City of Detroit, Michigan, is suing Comcast's local subsidiary citing a 2006 agreement which the City says violates the constitutions of both the United States and the state of Michigan. They claim that a federal act from 1984 supersedes the local agreement. Comcast has 20 days to respond."
