COMPETITION
About four years ago, the City of Grand Rapids intered into negotiations with a competitive cable company from the state of Mo. They approaced us to build a competeing Cable Television System in the metropolitian Grand Rapids area. We finished those negotiaions and waited like a teenager waiting for her first date to call. They never called.
The company had built a single cable system in another state and then the economy tanked.
Now we are considering a release of their contract. They tell us that it is hindering their ability to secure financing because the agreement represents a libility. So we are compling with their wishes. Another one spit the hook.
