[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Linda Haugsted]
The City of Chicago may pursue franchise fees on modem service from its cable providers, according to a recent decision by the Illinois First District Appellate Court. The decision, issued May 17, said there is nothing in federal law that prevents the city from acting on its franchise agreement. The appellate ruling reversed a lower-court decision granting a dismissal to the city's cable operators, including Comcast, RCN and WideOpenWest.
