been very carefully made and with due consideration to the <br /> requirements of the cable television franchising process, the laws of <br /> the Sltate of North Carolina, the United States and the Constitutions <br /> of both the State of North Carolina and the United States. It is very <br /> clear to me that the procedures followed by the County and decisions <br /> made by it can be defended. Competition was the goal of the <br /> County.
