I am writing to bring your attention to the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, which has been enacted by the federal government to safeguard the interests of cable television consumers and promote fair competition within the industry. As a concerned citizen of Delaware, I humbly request the prompt implementation of this act in our municipality. The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, also commonly known as the Cable Act, was introduced to address various issues affecting cable television subscribers, transparency of cable services, and the overall competitiveness of the cable industry. The act aims to provide consumers with better access to affordable and diverse programming options while ensuring fair business practices from cable providers. Some key provisions of the Cable Act include: 1. Consumer Protection: — Protection against rate increases beyond a certain limit without evidence of cost increase. — Access to a clear and detailed billing statement. — Assurance of reliable service, minimum service quality standards, and timely response to customer complaints. 2. Channel Access: — Ensuring non-discriminatory access to cable channels for independent programmers and local broadcasters. — Encouraging the provision of educational and local community channels. 3. Competition Promotion: — Facilitating competition in the cable industry by prohibiting monopolistic practices. — Encouraging the development of alternative technologies such as satellite television and wireless cable. Delaware, being a progressive state that values consumer rights, should take the lead in implementing the Cable Act provisions. By doing so, our municipality can protect the interests of cable television subscribers within our community, ensure fair pricing, and enhance the availability of diverse programming options. I kindly request that the municipality consider the following actions: 1. Review the Cable Act provisions thoroughly, understanding the impact and benefits it can provide to Delaware residents. 2. Establish a dedicated committee or task force responsible for overseeing the implementation and compliance of the Cable Act within our municipality. 3. Engage in open communication with cable providers, urging them to adhere to the provisions and encouraging competitive pricing and program offerings. 4. Conduct regular audits to ensure cable providers are delivering on their commitments and promptly address any consumer complaints or compliance issues. Implementing the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 will solidify Delaware's dedication to consumer protection and fairness. It will empower residents to make informed choices about their cable television subscriptions and encourage healthy competition among cable providers, leading to better services and affordable options. I sincerely hope that you will acknowledge the importance of this matter and take the necessary steps towards implementing the Cable Act in our municipality. Thank you for your attention to this request, and I look forward to hearing about the progress made. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
