I read that Utilities are the exception to Historic regulation. Probably because, like PENN, the Utilities are an 800# gorilla with contributions to "friends" in government at every level.
If I could regulate anything it would be the Cable lines running across my property to serve others. We don't even have cable. But I would not vote to forbid the pleasure of cable, and its confounding number of channels, to my neighbors. I would just lobby to have it run across poles along the back alley, and hung higher than my neck (which rides about 5' above the ground). I have had to raise lines at three different properties to keep kids from swinging from them. I am also not a big fan of the trespass into my yard and up my back wall (without notice) every time a neighbor makes a change in Cable connection. Hey, could the pro-HD folks put their energy into better regulating our utilities not our "muntin bars" and "meeting rails". Best! Liz On Wed, 29 May 2002 08:48:06 -0400 "Rebecca J.
