Abstract: FCC Form 1220 is used by cable operators to demonstrate their costs of providing cable service in order to justify rates above levels determined under the Commission's benchmark technology. Operators file FCC Form 1220 with local franchising authorities of the Commission where the Commission has assumed jurisdiction when justifying rates based on cost of service. FCC Form 1220 may also be filed as part of an operator's response to a complaint filed with the Commission about programming service rates and associated equipment when justifying rates based on cost of service.
