Sample Letter to Municipality regarding Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 in West Virginia [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Mayor's Name] [City Municipality] [City Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Request for Compliance with the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 Dear Mayor [Mayor's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a concerned citizen of [City], West Virginia, regarding the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. This act was enacted to ensure consumer protection and foster competition in the cable television industry. Unfortunately, there appear to be several issues within our municipality that need attention to comply with this federal law. Firstly, it has come to my attention that many cable service providers in our area are not adhering to the key provisions outlined in the Act. These provisions include the requirement to provide consumers with accurate information about channel lineups, rates, service offerings, quality of transmission, and additional charges. As residents of West Virginia, we have the right to fair and transparent dealings with our cable service providers. Therefore, I kindly request that the city municipality take the necessary steps to ensure compliance from these cable providers. Furthermore, the Act also prohibits exclusive contracts between cable providers and property owners or managers. These exclusive contracts limit consumer choices and competition in the cable market. It is essential that our municipality actively discourages such exclusive agreements and encourages healthy market competition, which will ultimately benefit the residents of [City] by providing access to a wider range of cable services at competitive prices. In addition, the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 mandates that cable companies carry local broadcast stations and Public Educational and Government (PEG) channels. These channels play a vital role in keeping residents informed about local news, emergency updates, and community events. However, it has been brought to my attention that some cable providers are neglecting their obligations to carry these essential channels. Therefore, I urge the city municipality to ensure that all cable service providers within our area are in full compliance with these channel carriage requirements. Lastly, it is crucial to consider the impact of the digital divide on our community. The Act emphasizes the importance of bridging the digital divide, ensuring that all individuals, including those in rural areas, have access to essential cable services. As West Virginia is known for its diverse geography with many rural areas, it is crucial that the city municipality actively pursues initiatives to promote widespread access to affordable and reliable cable services for all residents. In light of these concerns, I kindly request that the [City Municipality] takes immediate action to review the current practices of cable service providers within our jurisdiction. I urge you to initiate dialogues with these providers to ensure compliance with the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. Additionally, I encourage the city municipality to explore ways to enhance competition in the cable market, protect consumer rights, and ensure access to local broadcast stations and PEG channels. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I have attached a copy of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 for your reference. I believe that by working together, we can create a better cable television environment for the residents of [City], West Virginia. Furthermore, I eagerly await your response on the actions being taken in response to this concern. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information or assistance. I am available at [Phone Number] or [Email Address] at your convenience. Sincerely, [Your Name]
