Typical.
Broadband would exploded 15 years ago except for Cable interference, lobbying, and straight out corruption that kept digital networks from competing
Small town networks used provisions to keep out iptv because franchise incentives were to provide bare minimums of service until they could cash out when one of the big networks wanted to expand.
It was a status quo encouraged by the majors and enforced by their lobbyists at the state legislatures
