A - subscriber fee reduced from $1.80 to 1.01 competition among the programming and other providers is fierce at least there is a choice in Franklin, in most communities you don't get a choice increased the capital grant in lieu of the shorter term I read the same things you do, 5G is a future but tough to predict when Verizon will get there, will require local agreements deal we have is better than other communities has gotten it was a spirited negotiation, and I thank you for your participation |
