A Town Council Person Pointed Me To WCAC Re Verizon FiOS


By Bob Weber - Posted on 02 March 2008

So I asked on of our town council members why we don't have FiOS in Watertown. This person said:

"This is way outside of my area of knowledge. Suggest you contact Watertown Cable Access and then let me know if there is some legislative remedy you would propose." and then provided a link to WCAC.

Questions:

What's WCAC got to do with it?

Who negotiates cable franchise agreements on behalf of the town?

Since I live in East Watertown and my DSL is routed through the CAMBRWMA "Cambridge West" exchange, I asked Cambridge if there were any regulatory holdups for FiOS:

"Verizon has not applied to the City for a License for FIOS... I can only assume this is an infrastructure/business decision."

(E-mail from Robert Healy, Cambridge City Manager.)
