Baltimore County considers adding third cable provider

A third cable television provider could soon make its way to Baltimore County, providing consumers with what lawmakers hopewill be cheaper prices and better service.

Richmond, Va.-based Cavalier Telephone & TV has applied for a license to provide cable television in county homes and could be competing with Verizon and Comcast as early as January, said Councilman Kevin Kamenetz, an attorney who negotiates cable agreements on behalf of the county council.
