--------------------------------------------------------------------- The Evening Bridge - May 23, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP STORY - Despite aggressive lobbying efforts by cable interests, the Texas House gave tentative approval to legislation that would make it easier for regional phone companies to move into the TV business. Senate Bill 408 will allow SBC Communications and Verizon to get a single statewide franchise for their planned fiber-based services instead of having to obtain agreements that cable companies must reach at the local level.
