Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Request to Municipality — Enforcing the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 in Fulton, Georgia Dear [Municipality Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my concern about the apparent lack of enforcement of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (also referred to as the Cable Act) in Fulton, Georgia. As a resident and cable television consumer, I am seeking your assistance in ensuring the provision of fair and competitive cable television services for our community. The Cable Act, signed into law by President George H.W. Bush, aims to regulate the cable television industry and protect consumers from unfair practices. Its provisions include promoting competition, establishing rates for basic cable service, requiring cable providers to offer affordable and diverse programming options, and safeguarding consumer privacy. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that certain cable providers in our area might not be adhering to the requirements set forth by the Cable Act. This includes concerns regarding: 1. Lack of Competition: Despite the intent of the Cable Act to encourage competition, access to alternative cable providers in Fulton appears to be limited, resulting in a potential monopoly-like situation that hampers choice and fair pricing for consumers. 2. Inadequate Programming Options: Cable providers are obligated to offer a variety of programming choices to reflect the diverse interests and preferences of the community. However, the current selection seems limited, with little emphasis on local or independent channels. 3. Unreasonable Rates: The Cable Act intended to monitor and manage cable service rates to prevent unjustified increases. However, some residents have reported substantial price hikes without a corresponding improvement in service quality or additional programming options. 4. Consumer Privacy: The Cable Act emphasizes the protection of consumer privacy, ensuring that any personal information collected by cable providers is used appropriately and safeguarded against unauthorized access. It is crucial to ensure compliance with these privacy requirements to preserve the privacy rights of Fulton's residents. Given these concerns, I kindly request your attention to the matter. I urge the Municipality of Fulton to take the following actions: 1. Conduct a thorough review of cable providers operating within our community to ascertain their compliance with the Cable Act's provisions and regulations. 2. Establish and maintain a system to monitor service pricing, ensuring it remains fair and reasonable without compromising the quality of service provided. 3. Encourage and support competition in the cable television market, promoting the entry of new providers to increase availability and affordability for residents. 4. Facilitate opportunities for public input and involvement in cable television-related decision-making processes. This can be achieved through town hall meetings, surveys, or any other means that allow residents to voice their concerns and suggestions regarding cable service provision. 5. Collaborate with relevant state and federal agencies responsible for cable television regulation, seeking their guidance and assistance in enforcing the Cable Act within our community. The implementation and enforcement of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 are essential for creating a fair and competitive cable television landscape for Fulton, Georgia. By taking proactive measures, we can ensure that residents have access to diverse programming choices at reasonable rates, while their privacy and consumer rights remain protected. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your efforts in addressing these concerns and advocating for the best interests of Fulton's cable television consumers. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
