S 4783 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to information cable television companies must provide to subscribers

This bill requires cable television companies to provide new written information to subscribers at the time of initial sign-up. Specifically, companies must describe the required equipment, explain where subscribers can buy that equipment retail, and list compatible retail options that work with their system. The requirement applies directly to cable subscribers who are signing up for service, ensuring they understand equipment choices before committing. The law defines "equipment" broadly to include devices like modems used for data transmission. This policy change aims to increase transparency about equipment options without restricting consumer choices.
