Crossposting, but New York State claims it's going to kick Spectrum out for failing to do anything it promised before its merger (SURPRISE!)

https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/27/17622846/spectrum-charter-cable-internet-new-york-kicked-out

quote:

ew York is officially kicking internet and cable provider Spectrum, aka Charter, out of the state after the company failed to deliver on its fast internet promises. The state required Spectrum to roll out high-speed internet across underserved rural areas when it merged with Time Warner Cable in 2016.

The company failed to do so after two years, and now the state is not only forcing the company to cease operations by revoking its approval of the 2016 merger (the approval was contingent on Charter expanding the Spectrum network), but is also seeking $3 million in penalties. Spectrum has to keep operating, uninterrupted, for 60 days while the state finds a new internet provider to service customers. It�s unclear what Spectrum is planning to do now, but the state is asking it to come up with a transition plan.

The company issued a statement to The Verge and said it has �extended the reach of our advanced broadband network to more than 86,000 New York homes and businesses� since the merger. New York expected the company to expand access to an additional 145,000 homes and businesses.

Queens voted against the endorsements last night, so it has one final vote citywide to decide if NYC DSA endorses Nixon and/or Williams. If it passes, it'll be by a hair and honestly I don't see it using much resources in that case. People vote with their feet in a volunteer-member organization. Very few people are excited enough about it that they'll do it instead of the other work they're already doing. Salazar might get a *slight* boost in volunteer canvassers from it honestly, but not much, I don't think.

while i'm amazed that both Nixon and Williams got approved at the South Brooklyn vote, it's good to see different opinions at work in all the branches. a few months ago, Zellnor Myrie was narrowly rejected by the Brooklyn electoral group on account of a few things working against him

the citywide meeting should be a blast

Yeah, totally. Something to keep in mind about the Queens internal electorate is that it's very heavily made of the people who did the most work for the AOC campaign (and I'm personally only on the periphery of that group). There's people outside Queens DSA who did a lot of work on the campaign, but being the largest organized bloc of volunteers means that this was a lot of people who had some of the most meaningful insight into the nuts and bolts of how the Nixon/Williams campaign would necessarily have to run if we went forward with it. Even among those people, though, there wasn't a consensus about yes/no.

what's even the point of being in opposition if the leader of it has such a laissez-faire attitude towards what everyone under him does? i'm not surprised he's doing this because he's done this countless times before, but it never fails to piss me off
