| 52 | Frank Whitehead | I strongly oppose the move by Verizon to change the way Cable Franchising is handled in Mass. Verizon does not need to change our system which works very well for everyone (cable providers & Customers) they need simply to step up and deal with each town using existing laws. This is a very bad that is not about competition. |

| 60 | Kathleen Dalgliesh | I am deeply concerned about the future of Public Access Television, fair build-out policies, consumer protection and recourse and the loss of support of emergency systems and I-Nets. This will be disasterous to our state. It has NOTHING to do with competition, it has EVERYTHING to do with special breaks for Verizon. Do NOT be manipulated by lobbyists. Where is the money going to come from at the state level to oversee these contracts and consumer complaints??? |

| 64 | Anonymous | price competition is fine - but competitors should provide cable access as well, not omit it using 'competition' as the excuse! |

| 68 | Rebecca Rideout | Let's not sell out the rights of our communities to big business. It's not right, and will harm everyone in the end. Thank you for your support. |

| 72 | Greg Franceschi | The community's access to media is a key foundation of democracy. If this bill passes it will kill
small access tv stations and severely limit the ability of the the larger ones to serve their people.
I hope you will support us in our work, which is to democratize the media. Thanks! |

| 74 | Shawn Sheehan | Verizon is a corporation that is doing well and can afford to support Local Access Stations. It is unfair that this company is trying to take a voice away from cities and towns all to save a dollar. |
| 75 | Edwin Targonski | Public Access is vital to Mass. residents. It provides
programming not available on other paid for channels. Don't mess with what we now enjoy. |

| 81 | Thomas Fischer | This bill will hurt, if not destroy the working relationships between the local stations and local schools. It SHOULD NOT PASS. |

| 97 | Robin Coolbeth | As taxpaying citizens, cable access is our voice. There is no need to change the current system. Verizon will not care about community needs. Please vote no!!! |
| 98 | Nancy Nelkin | We value our Community Access Station and demand the right to control it locally!!! Please vote against these bills that threaten our community access stations! |
| 99 | Janet Muzzy | I opposed Sen. 1987 and House 3385 because this is another way that local news, issues, and accountability can be diluted and disappear. Too much of the airwaves (both radio and television) are disappearing into fewer and fewer hands. We must maintain local control and local access as much as possible. Local public access cable programming is too important to lose! |
