You’re Invited: CPUC Public Forums on Proposed Charter–Cox Transaction
SAN FRANCISCO – The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is holding a series of Public Forums to hear directly from the public on the proposed transfer of control of Cox California Telcom to Charter Communications.
The proposed transaction involves Charter taking over control of Cox subsidiaries that provide residential cable, voice, mobile, and enterprise services, as well as commercial fiber and managed IT services in California.
Public input is an important part of the CPUC’s process. Comments shared during the Public Forums will help the CPUC make an informed decision.
While a quorum of Commissioners and/or their staff may attend the Public Forums, no official action will be taken on this matter during the Public Forums.
Join us at a Public Forum
The CPUC will host both in-person and virtual Public Forums. Members of the public are welcome to attend and provide comments:
