Report: Bells Red-Lining with Video Services


REPORT: BELLS RED-LINING WITH VIDEO SERVICES
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Linda Moss]
Broadband Everywhere, which was founded and backed by cable operators, issued a report Tuesday charging that phone companies plan to deliver video services in mostly affluent communities with few minority-group residents. Based on maps and demographic and U.S. Census data, Broadband Everywhere claimed that more than 90% of the towns where telcos have announced upgrades are above the national median income. On average, the telco-announced target towns are 7% African-American and only 8.3% Hispanic, well below the national averages for each demographic, according to the report.
