Mr. Bradley stated that there cannot be difference between requirements of the current Comcast Franchise Agreement and CenturyLink's, that Century Link's agreement only runs for a period of five (5) years to ensure buildout requirements or penalties and the diligence of CenturyLink in installing fiber to neighborhoods if not to some homes already.
