Dear Customers and Friends, Sadly, we found out today that our injunction was denied and we have to hand over all of our cable internet customers to MyCityCable. As we find out more, we will post it to the web site. As I've stated before, we will work to make this an easy transition for you. Over the next weeks you will receive several emails about this transition.
Today we filed our final brief in support of our application for the preliminary injunction to stay on the cable internet system until a trial. You can read it here. We've been told that the opposition will file their brief by tomorrow; then it is all in the judge's hands. Thank you all for your support during this unpleasant process.
First, I know that many have been praying for our staff and company and we appreciate and are humbled by the outpouring. The hearing on Friday went very well. We told our story and supported it with facts. We were also able to shed light on many of the city's allegations which made our case even stronger.
Dear SEMO.net cable Internet customer, Sadly, Monday evening the City Council voted to change the date to end Open Access from mid-October to May 9th. SEMO.net has filed a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order in an attempt to prevent the City from carrying out this newest ordinance.
UPDATE: Judge Pritchett recused himself and neither Clarkson nor Bloodworth would take the case. We are currently awaiting the Missouri Supreme Court to assign a judge to our case. Our Temporary Restraining Order hearing was originally scheduled for 1:30 today (Thursday), we hope that a judge will be assigned prior to City Council's meeting on Monday evening. ORIGINAL POST: In an effort to keep our customers up to date on SEMO.net's legal proceedings, I wanted to share with you our newest filing.
