The predecessor and actual originator of cable in the area was Amrac, for those that remember. Some towns, like Alexandria insisted the whole town get wired up. They had the population density, and Metrocast had to wire to the closest pole to every residence (summer or not) in existence at the time... nice deal for the consumer. More rural towns, like Sandwich, insist on cable to every house, but its not economically feasible given the area of Sandwich. So there will be no cable in Sandwich.

It all depends on the contract the town draws up with the cable company. Hopefully, it isn't just the selectmen/administrator that makes the rules, but the people they represent have input into the process, in all areas of the town.

Here I go talking myself out of a job...
