Cable TV franchises outline what is required of a video or cable service provider in exchange for use of the public right-of-way. Iowa City's municipal franchise agreement with Mediacom expired on August 1, 2018. Iowa state law now allows providers to obtain a state-issued franchise in order to operate in any municipality it names within its application for a franchise. Cable TV franchises do not include Internet or phone services, even when offered by a cable TV provider. Currently, video/cable service providers include Mediacom and ImOn.
The Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) is the franchising authority for state-issued cable TV franchises. For more information on how to contact the IUB, please visit: https://iub.iowa.gov/utility-complaints-or-inquiries.
