Wisconsin Customer-Service Bill Includes DBS

Measure Set for May 8 Vote

By Multi Channel News Staff -- Multichannel News, 4/27/2007 12:35:00 PM

The Wisconsin State Assembly tentatively approved a state franchising bill that contains a clause that will include direct-broadcast satellite providers under the state's customer-service rules.

The Assembly vote was April 24, but that vote won't be finalized until another tally May 8. If approved, permanent video franchises will be awarded by the state Department of Finance. Customer-service rules, such as rebates for outages of more than four hours, will be regulated by the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and will require compliance by satellite-delivered services.

The state Senate sent its version of the bill to a finance committee; senators want to know the regulatory costs the state will have to bear under the bill.
