AFAIK, that's the way it goes - I know for a fact that it went this way with this particular subdivision...

The developers in VA love being able to lay out their own streets. They can make them all dead-end streets that don't connect to adjoining developments, so you get situations where you have to drive 2 miles to get to a house you are only a few hundred feet from.

All of these, with few exceptions, end up as public maintained roads, too.

I'm still trying to understand why a profit-seeking company such as Comcast would commit a profit-limiting move such as failing to wire a subdivision for cable service.

That is why I assumed that the fault would have been with the developer, who has no profit motive whatsoever in making sure that things are taken care of with respect to Comcast.

If it is indeed the County who is reponsible for advising Comcast of the need to place infrastructure in that development/subdivision, that is an interesting situation since the County is probably whom Comcast holds the franchise agreement (to serve an area for cable) with, and the County could use that failure to wire the subdivision against Comcast when it's time to renew the franchise agreement.
