Modifies the definition of video service in Michigan law to include video programming, cable services, IPTV, or OVS.
This bill amends Michigan's definition of "video service" to include video programming, cable services, IPTV, or OVS provided by a video service provider through facilities located in public rights-of-way. It excludes video programming provided by commercial mobile service providers or direct-to-home satellite services. The definition also clarifies that video service does not include video programming accessed via the public internet. The bill ensures that existing video service providers with a franchise agreement before the effective date are not affected by this amendment.
