Based on Rat-Shack prices, it seemed that the cable cost
would have only been around a few thousand dollars.  

Apparently, they felt that the labor to string the line
and pay pole rental fees to the power company was not 
worth the hassle for a couple of dozen homes. The letter
I received recommended that I contact all of the potential 
households and get them to "chip in" to help pay for the
cost....riiiight...

Up here (in the People's Democratic Republik of New York),
contacting the Public Service Commission was a waste
of time.

Kodak moment?  LOLOL...even a seasoned sailor would 
have been embarrased by my vocabulary :-O

Time Warner wanted $49,000.00 to run it 2 miles to my place.
The majority of that distance is a paved road...


Maybe you could'a offered to run the cable yourself?

49g's, crap.  Must be gold-plated?

Does your state have a "public services commission"?  In 
Michigan, they
regulate utilities (not sure if cable companies fall in that 
category).  But
there might be some regulatory agency in your state that can 
"turn screws"
on your behalf.

Must have been a Kodak moment when they told you it would 
cost 49g's, eh?
