Pursuant to the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, the consortium, on behalf of the municipality, is currently certified to regulate the basic service rates charged by grantee, and the rates for equipment and services needed to deliver basic service. Under these rules, the grantee is required to obtain approval from the consortium for a rate increase for any change to the rates for basic service. Should federal or state law permit further rate regulation beyond basic service, the consortium, on behalf of the municipality, may assume such rate regulation and recommend the adoption of appropriate procedures for such regulation by the municipality and its other members.
