The municipality gets a cut of that in a profit sharing agreement. The point was, everyone gets their tax or toll along

Dave, perhaps you would be kind enough to tell us where you operate a
network and what municipality is able to charge "the cable company"
based on a "profit sharing agreement".

That would be against the law in Michigan.  And I've never heard of any
cable company revealing its profits on a per municipality basis....
