100 Jurisdictions – Without a Statewide Franchise Law

by

Ken Pyle


The 2007 RICA/RTG conference featured cutting-edge rural independent operators talking about their experience as competitive providers. In the case of Paul Bunyan Communications, Paul Freude discusses how this 100-year-old telco has grown by more than 250% this decade. With systems in over 100 jurisdictions, they probably have more networks implementing the little-used FCC rules for Open Video Systems than any other operator.

Note, this was filmed in 2007 but posted to YouTube in 2023.
