Easier Cable System Sales: Boosting Broadband Competition for Consumers
New rules make it easier to sell and transfer cable systems, potentially increasing competition among internet and TV providers. This could lead to more choices and better prices for consumers, as local authorities will no longer be able to block such transactions.
Key points
Local authorities can no longer require approval for cable system sales, speeding up transactions.
Cable operators only need to notify authorities of a sale, and the new owner must accept existing contract terms.
The changes aim to boost competition and improve broadband access for citizens.
