Phone Competition
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander:
Senate Regulated Industries Committee Chairman David Shafer (R-Duluth) submitted a bill that would eliminate the need for telecommunications companies to separately negotiate franchise agreements with each city in which they want to do business.
Last year the Senate R&I committee heard legislation (which became law) to allow AT&T to negioiate a single state-wide franchise for TV Service. This now allows phone companies to do the same and compete with AT&T.
This year’s bill is SB 408
