An Idaho House panel voted 10-9 to reject Qwest’s push to tinker with how video franchises are handed out in Idaho.
The House State Affairs Committee on Wednesday listened to municipalities such as Pocatello that argued upending the existing system could cost them tens of thousands of dollars in revenue — and spell doom for their public access channels.
The Idaho Video Service Act sought to allow Qwest to get franchises for new video services through the secretary of state’s office, instead of local governments.
