Fairfax County does not regulate rates for cable television service. Federal law prevents local governments from regulating cable rates where there is “effective competition” as defined by federal law. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled in March 2007 that there was “effective competition” in the County. If you have questions about the rates charged by a cable operator, contact the Communications Policy and Regulation Division or call 703-324-5902, TTY 711.
