Filing a lawsuit to slow the rollout of Google Fiber is nothing new. Filing a lawsuit to slow the rollout of Google Fiber in a city where it isn't even offered yet is.
Charter says it doesn’t oppose competition from Google Fiber and AT&T in Louisville, it just thinks the city is letting these competitors enter the market without the sort of regulatory hazing that Charter/Insight had to go through. The complaint alleges that when AT&T brought its U-Verse pay-TV service to Louisville in 2009, the Louisville Metro authorities allowed U-Verse to operate “without any local franchise or local regulation.”
