Pennsylvania's Governor, Edward G. Rendall, did sign House Bill 30, giving incumbents veto power over municipal networks: However, if you read the release, you'll find some remarkably candid discussion of the issues surrounding municipal networks and the various actions taken to ensure Philadelphia's network will go forward given an agreement signed with Verizon. Other municipalities may go into high gear as they have until Jan. 1, 2006, to avoid the first-refusal requirement. The governor's release notes that the bill was adjusted to provide more grandfathering over the course of its development.
