VISTA SUPPORTING HR 3258 CALLING FOR AN EXTENSION OF
FCC'S REGULATION OF EXPANDED-LEVEL CABLE SERVICE BY
REPEALING ITS CURRENT SUNSET DATE OF MARCH, 1999
WHEREAS, HR 3258 (Markey) would extend the FCC's current regulatory role over the
expanded level of cable rates; and
WHEREAS, as part of the Tetecommunications Act of 1996, this role was slated to
sunset in March, 1999; and
WHEREAS, it was believed that increased competition among cable service proriders
and telephone companies entering the field would eliminate the need for federal regulation of
consumer prices; and
WHEREAS, that competition has not yet materialized and, as noted above, prices for
cable services continue to rise dramatically; and
WHEREAS, Congressman Markey's legislation would repeal the 1999 sunset date and
allow FCC regulation to continue until a new date is set by Congress.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chuta Vista does
hereby support HR 3258 calling for an extension of FCC's regulation of expanded-level cable
service by repealing its current sunset date of March, 1999.
