    I am in favor of granting this franchisee's request because:

    1. Promoting choice in the marketplace improves product offerings, improves customer service and improves pricing for our citizens.

    2. It is clear that Verizon FIOS and Comcast Xfinity have agreed not to compete in the Frederick market.

    3. The growth in the 'cable' industry will not be the canned cable programing but rather the internet access used for streaming on-demand content from many sources.

    4. Having another competitive source for internet access may reduce the "digital divide" our less affluent citizens experience.
