I'm sure the same thing will happen here, as the Town of Apple Valley
has decided to award a second cable franchise to Verizon.

The chances of me using Verizon for anything other than POTS are less than
nil, given the availability of Charter broadband in AV (which has been quite
reliable over the past two years), and the suckage level of Verizon DSL, but
it'll be interesting to see if Charter raises a fuss about Verizon entering
the market, anyhow.
