Charter wishes to stop Louisville Metro\u2019s One Touch Make Ready ordinance that allows new entrants like Google Fiber to make all the necessary adjustments on the utility poles, instead of sending work crews to move their own wires.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The complaint filed by Charter in the District Court of Louisville is similar to the one that was filed by AT&amp;T last month. Charter claims that this ordinance violates the Fifth Amendment property rights and can lead to service outages for their customers if the Google Fiber installers make any mistake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Charter is second among the cable TV providers in the US and they are frustrated with both AT&amp;T and Google Fiber facing lesser restrictions in their TV franchise agreement. They even say that the differential treatment violates the First Amendment right to \u201cspeak\u201d as a cable service provider, but they have not pointed out any specific \u201cspeech\u201d that is suppressed by the action of Google.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Charter started to work in Louisville after they acquired Time Warner Cable and are offering their services under the terms of a franchise agreement with Louisville that expired back in 2010, saying that Louisville refused to rewrite a new deal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not uncommon for cities to be less strict on the franchise agreement to the new entrants that those who are already established in the business. Charter argues that this disparity in the county of Louisville violates their First Amendment speech rights, but they do not claim that they have been prevented from making a speech.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1508\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1508\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1508\" class=\"wp-image-1508 size-medium\" title=\"Google Fiber\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Google-Fiber-e1476272543779-300x201.png\" alt=\"Cable TV Providers\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1508\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Fifth Amendment Property Rights<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The different rule in each of the franchise agreement makes it \u201cless burdensome and expensive for [Charter\u2019s] competitors to speak in Louisville,\u201d violating the principle that \u201cthe government may not favor one similarly situated member of the press or other speaker over another without special justification,\u201d Charter argued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u201cburdensome regulatory treatment\u201d faced by Charter impairs its \u201cability to speak relative to Google\u2019s and AT&amp;T\u2019s ability to speak,\u201d the complaint said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charter Communications has sued the local government in Louisville to Jefferson County to stop a new ordinance that will offer Google Fiber access to the utility poles.
