Louisiana's Cable TV Companies Ask to be Plaintiffs

The Louisiana Cable and Telecommunications Association filed Tuesday to be included as a plaintiff in the lawsuit seeking to block the Lafayette Utilities System's funding for its telecommunications project, according to a report in The Advocate. The LCTA is made up of the state's cable television companies. Other plaintiffs in the suit include BellSouth, Cox Communications and a group called Fiber411. The plaintiffs are asking 15th Judicial District Judge Byron Hebert to rule as invalid the process LUS is using to seek up to $125 million in bonds to begin providing fiber-optic based cable, phone and high-speed Internet services.
