The cable and phone companies now operate under a statewide franchise with CA. The local control was taken away a couple years ago when the Legislature changed the law to allow AT&T/Verizon to offer TV service. So there is now no requirement that a company (either cable or phone) offer service to all the residents and companies within their footprint anymore.
reply to ftth_freak Anyone familiar with where Verizon has deployed here in California knows that VZ isn't redlining. Some of the poorest service areas were the first to get FiOS (eg Beaumont, Lake Elsinore etc).
