There are no exclusivity agreements that preclude competition among cable companies to provide service in a particular area. Where various cable providers offer service depends on each company’s infrastructure throughout areas of the community.
Cable Complaints
The City does not regulate cable companies, this is done at the state level by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). If you are unable to resolve an issue with your cable provider, you may contact the CPUC to file a complaint. For information about how to file a complaint with CPUC, please go to the CPUC website, Utility Complaint (ca.gov). For questions on federal telecommunications rules and regulations, contact the Federal Communications Commission.
