Comcast Cable Service

How does a department obtain Comcast cable television service?

The Purchasing department is the single point of contact with Comcast. If a department wants to have Comcast cable installed, the Budget Unit Head needs to submit a "non-catalog" request in TU Marketplace with the following information:

• number of drops or cable connections needed
• building
• room number
• need area classification (e.g., area for public view, private office, classroom, or lounge)

Purchasing will send the request to the Office of Telecommunications who will determine if Comcast has a signal in the building and what needs to be done to provide the signal to the desired area. If a coaxial cable needs to be installed, the cost of installation time and materials will be charged to the department. The Office of Telecommunications will inform the department of any installation costs; Purchasing will inform the department of the monthly service cost.
