Cox Communications to lay off 500 in San Diego

Source: San Diego Union-Tribune

Cox Communications said Wednesday it is closing a call center in San Diego, eliminating 500 jobs.

The move comes as part of a company-wide consolidation of call center operations for Atlanta-based Cox Communications, which is trimming its current 19 call centers nationwide into seven large sites.

Besides 500 jobs in San Diego, about 150 jobs will be cut in Orange County, where Cox Communications also has a cable system.

Cox is the largest cable provider in San Diego County, with roughly 500,000 subscribers. It will have 2,000 employees in California after the call center closures.

I don't know how this is legal and its always bugged me. I can get Cox but not Time Warner - which is available to people less than two blocks away. They however can't get Cox. It should be an open market where the consumer can chose regardless of location.

(I actually use U-verse now - which is only available in some areas do to it not being installed yet, it has better TV, but awful upload speed when it comes to the internet)
