Although Comcast received a CCFA pursuant to the Act 07-253, it is Comcast's current intent to maintain the status quo with regard to PEG operations and funding. Comcast will continue to strive to bring the best value and technology options to its customers in this competitive arena, and to abide by federal and state law as they pertain to the provision of meaningful public access. As always, Comcast is happy to discuss this or any other cable related issues.
