The CPUC is creating new rules to protect customers who use television and internet services. Many Californians rely on businesses such as DirecTV, Charter, Comcast, and Cox for their television and internet services. The CPUC issues franchises to more than 20 businesses that offer these services in California. We want to promote competition, give consumers more choice, lower prices, speed up the deployment of new communication and broadband technologies, and create jobs to benefit the California economy.
