description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps scaffold for Cablevision Systems. The provider does not publish a metered
  developer API or chargeable API surface, so this artifact captures the corporate publisher and service
  category for cataloging purposes only — there are no API meters, FOCUS columns are minimal, and consumers
  should treat this as a placeholder.

notes: |
  Cablevision Systems was acquired by Altice and now operates as part of Altice USA under the Optimum
  brand. It does not publish a public, general-purpose developer API or developer pricing. Consumer
  broadband, TV, and voice services are sold via standard residential / business pricing schedules;
  B2B integrations are governed by private contracts.
principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: No API spend to make visible because no public API is published. Procurement / facilities / IT
      visibility for this entity is handled through standard vendor-management tooling, not a developer-cost surface.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Not applicable to API consumption. Corporate spend allocation is handled by the publisher's
      standard accounting and cost-center processes.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Not applicable to API consumption. Standard procurement-side optimization (contract negotiation,
      consolidated buying) applies if the entity is engaged commercially.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Not applicable to API consumption. Corporate accountability is governed by the publisher's
      enterprise procurement and finance functions.
