television provider in the country. According to Comcast, there are approximately 4,000
cable television subscribers in Lynwood. Comcast also provides High Speed Internet to
residential subscribers however the City has no account of this number. Based on the
cable franchise agreement, Comcast pays the City of Lynwood 5% of the gross revenues
generated from Lynwood cable subscribers. No franchise fee is provided for High Speed
Internet because the FCC has ruled that this is an interstate information service and not a
cable television service. Comcast has undergone numerous service enhancements to
maintain its ground in the rapidly changing telecommunications industry, including
upgrading its infrastructure to fiber optics, upgrading to digital cable, upgrading to
HDTV. and more.
