About the Albuquerque Cable, Internet & PEG Advisory Board

Under a cable franchise ordinance, the cable operator pays a franchise fee and agrees to comply with rules governing construction, consumer service standards, and, generally, the public welfare. In exchange, the City grants the cable operator a non-exclusive right to install, maintain and operate a cable network in the City's rights-of-way, in other words, its streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, easements, or other public thoroughfares.
