S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4787 2017-2018 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 3, 2017 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. DINOWITZ -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions AN ACT to authorize and direct the department of public service to study and report on the current status of cable television systems operating and providing services to the customer premises over fiberoptic cables THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby declares that the public interest is furthered by the broadest possible deployment of consumer-available high-speed internet service at reasonable prices, to the largest number of New York households and businesses as is practica- ble. Due to the ubiquity of such service provided by cable television companies, and such companies' provision of high-speed internet to the home and workplace, and the greater speeds demonstrated around the rest of the world by systems providing high-speed internet by fiberoptic cable to the premises, the legislature finds that it has a compelling interest in closer oversight of the cable television systems, whether completed or under construction, that provide such services and allow the citizens of the state of New York to access government or other services from home or otherwise remotely. § 2. Study. a. The department of public service shall, within thirty days of the effective date of this act, undertake a study, pursuant to its duty under subdivision 11 of section 215 of the public service law, of the current status of cable television systems operating and provid- ing services to the customer premises over fiberoptic cables. This study shall include: (i) the total number of franchises such companies have or operate where service is provided to the customer premises over fiberoptic cable; EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
