Campus had a bid for cable TV and Internet access to Orchard Downs (and the new student housing over at 1st and Windsor.) Not surprisingly, the purchase was awarded to Comcast. (I guess the surprise comes from four other groups trying to compete.) The deal wound up being over $2M for a 3 year commitment with renewal options. It would have been nice to use that leverage for BTN support, but I doubt that happened.
