The TPAC is a group of citizen volunteers appointed by the City Council to advise the City Council, City Manager, and Director of Colorado Springs Utilities on forms of telecommunications between City government and the citizens of Colorado Springs, which includes the Cable Television Franchise. The TPAC is advisory in nature and exists to assist Council and staff by preparing recommendations for Council decision. The members serve three (3) year terms, with a maximum of two (2) consecutive terms.

Telecommunications includes such services, media and devices as Satellite and Cable TV, Wireless, Data Services, Internet, High Speed Data access, Telephone Services - Local and Long Distance, and Commercial Radio.

With the assistance of these citizen volunteers we review and oversee the advent of new telecommunications services and providers - including Open Video Systems (OVS)and Digital Broadband Service (DBS). Each future technology brings with it new consumer protection issues, regulatory oversight functions, and new telecommunication service opportunities for the City's residents, businesses, and City departments.

The TPAC meets the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30AM in the City Administration Building, Suite 701.
