Who will negotiate the terms of cable service franchise agreements?
Under the new “State Issued Certificate of Franchise” Act, there is no negotiation involved in getting a State franchise. When the DFI grants a certificate the entity is allowed to provide service. For local franchise agreements which were still in effect on January 9, 2008, a unit of local government negotiated and approved the cable franchise agreement. The Act has provisions which deal with existing cable service agreements.
