NOTE: Originally published on the South & Walnut neighborhood page.
Mecklenburg County and five towns north of Charlotte, including Davidson, are considering buying the cable system serving this area.
The proposal has grown out of the bankruptcy of the area’s former cable operator, Adelphia Cable. Under the cable system operating agreement, the county and towns have first crack at buying the system because of Adelphia’s bankruptcy.
Time Warner Cable has taken over management of the system until the purchase issue is resolved, and would own the system if the towns and county decide against buying it.
Does the proposal make sense?
