It was a busy summer for the Connecticut Chapter of TV4US. TV4US team members were busy crisscrossing the state attending various events and speaking to Connecticut residents 
about the benefits of video competition. Team members had a great time meeting with the crowds as they hosted booths at sporting events throughout the state including visits to our great minor league baseball teams; the New Britain Rock Cats, The Bridgeport Bluefish and the Connecticut Defenders. And just last week, the TV4US team hosted a booth at the annual Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale in New Haven.
In addition, TV4US members helped to sponsor and take part in community events as well. They helped sponsor the Charter Oak Health Center's Neighborhood Block Party and Wellness Fair in Hartford; attended West Hartford's two-day street fair and participated in Riverfront Recapture's Lunch-Time Entertainment series in downtown Hartford (http://www.riverfront.org). At each event, Connecticut consumers made their voices heard by signing a petition calling on all elected officials to continue to pave the way for video competition and to provide a choice to local cable television. Consumers told TV4US representatives that they are tired of cable companies charging high prices and offering the same old product.
In all, over one-thousand Connecticut residents signed the petition which will be submitted to all state and local elected officials. You can sign an on-line version of the petition by clicking on the following link
Many of the residents we spoke to were already enjoying a new video product being offered by a competitive service. Currently 80 cities and towns in Connecticut are served by a competitor to local cable. That means over 300,000 households have the ability to choose the service they want to provide television and video products to their home. Competition means better pricing options and more choices in products and services!
If you want to see competition expanded in Connecticut, speak to your state and local officials and ask them to continue to fight for your right to video choice. You can sign our petition by clicking on this link

Video competition has arrived in Connecticut! New providers have begun to offer innovative video services and technologies to local consumers. According to one new provider, at least 80
cities and towns have a competitive alternative to the local cable company.
As a Superior Court judge in Hartford prepares to convene a hearing Friday in the battle over AT&T’s U-verse, the television service got a strong showing of support Tuesday.
Just three months ago Gov. M. Jodi Rell signed a new law intended to boost competition in the state’s television-service market, excited by the prospect that it would expand customer options, lower prices and create jobs.
But in the strange world of Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, a Department of Public Utility Control decision that threatens to shut down AT&T’s $336 million, three-year investment in Connecticut, and eliminate 1,300 current and future jobs, is “a landmark victory for consumers.”
The Legislature is considering historic legislation with the power to open Cable TV to real competition
