Scottsdale is being cautious about rolling out a red carpet for Google Fiber, removing a proposed resolution to grant Google a “video services” license from the Oct. 6 city council meeting.
The agenda cited Resolution No. 10217 removed by the “request of staff” and has been moved to a meeting on Oct. 20, according to the city.
It seems Scottsdale is trying to avoid a similar legal battle with cable companies like Cox Communications, who is suing the city of Tempe for issuing a video services license to Google Fiber, accusing that city of creating a new license category that violates state and federal law.
