Phone cable measure gets House approval

Star-Telegram | 05/23/2005 | Phone cable measure gets House approval: "After failing twice on technicalities, legislation that would help SBC and other companies get into the cable business -- but that consumer groups warn could unfairly exclude low-income neighborhoods -- won approval Sunday in the Texas House of Representatives.

Senate Bill 408, by Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, would also reauthorize the Texas Public Utility Commission and add more oversight to the scandal-plagued organization that manages the state's power grid."
