In "No cable contract is good news for Indy," in the June 14, 2006 issue of NUVO, Kathleen Dobie writes about the recent unsuccessful attempt between the City of Indianapolis and Bright House Networks to negotiate an early cable franchise renewal: "[What] Bright House asked for was more than the city was willing to give." Dobie writes that according to Peter
Blum, chair of the Cable Franchise Board, there were "two main sticking points: Bright House wanted an
opt-out clause to allow them to exit the agreement at their discretion
and to reduce the number of access channels they currently provide from
four to two." Dobie quotes Blum as saying, “No agreement is better than a bad agreement,” which is a sentiment shared by Public Access of Indianapolis president, Andrea Price.
