A letter has been sent out to all municipalities within the state of Michigan regarding Public Act 480 of 2006 (the Uniform Video Services Local Franchise Act). The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) is the agency designated to implement the Act. Pursuant to Section 12(2) of the Act, the MPSC shall file an annual report to the Governor and Legislature that includes information on the status of video service competition in Michigan.

To assist MPSC staff with gathering information for the report, MPSC requests that you complete the electronic survey, which is located at michigan.gov/mpsc beginning October 14, 2024. Responses to the survey are due by November 12, 2024.

You may find the survey by following these steps:
1. Go to michigan.gov/mpsc and click on “Regulatory Information” at the top of the page.
2. Next, scroll down and click on “Telecommunications” at the bottom.
3. Lastly, click on “Video/Cable Regulatory Information” and you will find the survey under the “Provider & Franchise Entity Information” category.

The survey is quick and easy and should take only a few minutes of your time. It is important that MPSC staff receives feedback from municipalities. Your feedback will help to provide MPSC Staff with a better insight of the video/cable issues that may be occurring in your community. While MPSC Staff cannot provide you with answers to the survey questions, please contact MPSC staff if you require clarification regarding the questions being asked.

If you have any questions, please contact Erin West at (517) 284-8212 or by email at [email protected].
