It would be bad form, IMO, for the state to come back to Mc'D's and say "hey...you guys are doing a thriving business here...we want a bigger cut, and if we don't get it, we'll barracade the exits and you'll do NO business in these shops you've stood up. Furthermore, we don't care if our customers (drivers on the highway) have bought the McD's meal plan for their frequent trips up and down the road...they can't do business here."
But it is worse than that. It is as if the Connecticut transportation authority opened their own burger joints and *then* threatened to block the exits if McDonald's doesn't pay up. I am a great fan of markets and I am sure economics will "route around the damage" in this case, but it will take a while. I hope Comcast comes up with a better answer in the long run.
