A resolution for a ten-year franchise agreement between the City of Las Cruces and Comcast was unanimously adopted by the city council, giving the company authorization to construct, maintain and operate cable systems. Assistant City Attorney Robert Cabello outlined what freedoms the agreement will allow Comcast.
“It gives them that ability to engage in a particular activity using public facilities,” Cabello said. “In this instance, Comcast would be using our rights of way to put their infrastructure in.”
Bob Duchen, of River Oaks Telecommunications Group, highlighted the non-exclusivity of the agreement.
“This franchise in no way prohibits the city from granting additional wireline cable franchises should another competitor wish to enter the Las Cruces marketplace,” Duchen said.
