A town Alderman said that the people of Troutman told him they didn’t want to be in the cable/internet business so he voted against it.

Maybe the voters of Mooresville and Davidson will have the same effect with their elected officials.

In the mean time, the former Adelphia customers in Statesville will soon be done with their upgrade and will be enjoying a modern system.

And in the mean time we’ll still be paying the lawyers…..

Delaying the decision any further will only continue to delay Time Warner’s planned upgrades to the system. Continuing to pursue the purchase of the system only delays the investment in our future by private enterprise.

It’s as if you go to purchase gasoline at a service station, and on this particular day the service station does not have the octane rating you wish to purchase. You would like to purchase a higher octane that is available for sale that day. So what is your solution? Do you purchase the entire service station? The prudent solution would be to work with the vendor to ensure they provide the desired octane in the future. Our town wants to buy the entire service station. (Or maybe the entire petroleum industry!)
