The MPSC issued its sixth annual status of competition for video services in Michigan as required by the Uniform Video Services Local Franchise Act (Public Act 480 of 2006).<\/p>\n

The MPSC made three recommendations to the legislature: changing the due date of the annual report to March 1 from February 1 to provide survey respondents more time to provide information to the MPSC; requiring providers to provide certain contact information to the MPSC; and requiring a provider to notify the Commission if it changes its name, goes out of business, or merges with another company.<\/span><\/p>\n

The entire report is available on the MPSC’s website<\/a>.
