HB 2479 amends the Utilities Code to redefine cable and video services, explicitly excluding streaming services and video programming accessed via the internet from regulatory definitions. The bill clarifies that only wireline facilities utilizing public rights-of-way fall under the definition of "video service," and excludes services provided by commercial mobile carriers and direct-to-home satellite services. This revision aims to address emerging technologies and regulatory jurisdiction over different service types.
