NC House Public Utilities Committee Vote on HB1587

On June 6, 2006, the NC House Public Utilities Committee voted to move forward on House Bill 1587. HB1587 places severe restrictions on NC cities that work to provide superior broadband Internet, cable TV and phone service. The city of Wilson has had an all-fiber optic network in place since March, 2006. Wilson is expanding that network now to reach every home and business. This video shows the June 6 vote.
