Private Cable Operator

Private Cable Operator

A Private Cable Operator (also known as PCO) is a private small independent cable company competing directly with Multi system operators. PCOs typically offer services to multi-family dwellings, gated communities, hotels and other small businesses. In some small municipalities the city may be a PCO.

In some cases PCOs offer voice, wireless and data services as well. The FCC currently has some rules regarding the exclusive contracts that used to be granted to cable providers. [http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2007/db1113/FCC-07-189A1.txt]
