The FCC Media Bureau granted a Comcast petition Tuesday to exempt the cable provider from municipal rate-setting for basic-video and some other prices for 39 communities in California, said a Media Bureau order (http://bit.ly/1bYgizW). Comcast’s petition cited video competition from DirecTV and Dish Network. The deregulation affects just under 600,000 California households, including the communities of Roseville, Salinas and Santa Rosa.
