OPPOSE HOUSE BILL HB3558

Mar
06

Hey Folks:

I was just informed the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Energy and Utilities will hold a hearing on March 8, 2012, 10 am at the State House, Hearing Room A-1 on House Bill HB3558, another Bill designed to have a negative impact on the cable franchising process. I ask you to take action and oppose this Bill.

As you might be aware, several bills with similar language have been sponsored, on Verizon's behalf, over the past few years. This bill, among other things, proposes to substantially reduce the cable licensing timetable for municipal licensing authorities, providing for municipalities to commence negotiations within ten days of receiving a license application; hold a hearing within ninety days of receipt of application; and approve or deny within only five days of the public hearing. This is a ridiculous proposal. The current licensing process allows a three year timeline to complete the process. While the current process may need amending, the current proposal of House Bill HB3558 is utterly nonsense.

Movie Night January 31st at 6PM

Jan
17

Join us at BATV on Tuesday, January 31st for BATV Movie Night
Showing: Endless Summer
Curated by Alex Shure

In light of the cold, gray, depressing New England winter, we have decided to play a film that will warm up the soul this January. Bruce Brown’s documentary, The Endless Summer follows a group of young surfers as they chase the season of summer around the globe. Shot in 1966, not only are the surfers featured in the picture, world-class athletes; they are also riding in places that have never been surfed before. This film has lots to offer to those who aren’t necessarily interested in surfing however. Though surfing is their particular medium, this film is about the pursuit of pure freedom, adventure and happiness. We guarantee your enjoyment of the film or your money back. *

*Movie Night is free to all BATV Members
