From the desk of Lance Haver, Director of Civic Engagement for Philadelphia City Council.
Philadelphia City Council’s Committee on Public Property and Public Works will hold hearings on Comcast’s proposed 15-year franchise agreement with the City of Philadelphia. We are asking you to come to the hearings and make sure the public’s voice is heard.
The agreement will give Comcast access to the public right of ways so it may offer cable TV services. The City may be asking for the agreement to include discounts for senior citizens, better service, expanded discounted internet, an end to skyrocketing price hikes and a better way to resolve billing disputes. It will also include funding for public access stations and may help fund computer literacy programs.
