Metrocast will never cable the island voluntarily, you will have to jam the contract down their throats. Don't take no for an answer.
Absolutely! They are all the same (the cable providers). I'm on the cable committee in my town, and we run into the same thing all the time - we have to force them legally to do what the contract states.

I spoke with the Alton town admin, and he is getting me the relevant sections of the franchise agreement the Town has with Metrocast. An examination of the language in the contract will quickly yield the answer - and I'm hoping the answer is the one we want !!!!!!

Any suggestions or advise in this area are GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks and Regards,
