MediaOne is currently the sole provider of cable programming to nine communities, but the Northwest Suburban Cable Communications Commission (NWSCCC) has cleared three companies to compete with MediaOne. MediaOne was purchased by AT&T in June for $44 billion. Front Page It will be competing with Everest Connections, Seren Innovations and WideOpen West to Home Page provide broadband cable services to the cities whose cable TV is regulated by NWSCCC Spin To Win! p - Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, Golden Valley, Maple Grove, New Hope, Osseo, Plymouth and Robbinsdale. -. Broadband is considered next wave of cable TV and will combine local and long-distance telephone, 500 -channel cable, high-speed Internet access and cable video services. The monthly bill for broadband subscribers is expected to be about $150. Sun Slots Special Sections The commission currently is negotiating with the new owners of NWSCCC's cable NET DIRECTory franchise an ordinance that will govern them. Search The Web Powered by: The earliest the commission could vote to approve the franchise ordinance for Everest, Seren and WideOpen West is at its Aug. 24 meeting; a unanimous vote of the 18 - member commission is required. AT&T/MediaOne's claims for a level playing field were detailed for the cable commission at its Aug. 17 meeting by Adrian Herbst, legal counsel for the commission. To deal with AT&T/MediaOne's requests, Herbst said the commission must balance the 1996 Federal Telecommunications Act and Minnesota law. The 1996 act deregulated the telecommunications industry and limits the control of state and local agencies; it is the primary reason AT&T/MediaOne is facing potential competition. But recent state law is explicit in requiring that all companies in the industry have similar advantages, Herbst said. AT&TAfiediaOne outlined the following facts for the commission: • Ongfmal owner of NWSCCC's cable franchise, Storer Broadcasting, in 1981 was required to provide public, governmental and educational cable TV access to the area and make grants for cable available to public institutions, before it has any paying subscribers. Page I ;t promote : pur local u5 neSs online l'or REm-mE- - % Q• rnt mo r x ALTW_% Tr Citi us at: ,M"1 234 " When building the cable TV network to subscribers in the area, Storer Broadcasting / was held to a rigid construction timeline. • A $500,000 bond to ensure the complete construction of the cable network was levied on the franchise owner in 1983 before it had any paid subscribers. • Also at that time, an additional $110,000 was paid to the cable commission to oversee construction and administration of the cable TV network. "We're looking at [companies that are] going to come in a build a new system and these are the obligations we've shouldered," said David Seykora, AT&T/MediaOne's vice president of law and public policy, in an interview after the meeting. He said he agreed that as owner of the original franchise, AT&T/MediaOne has a stake in the efforts of companies that preceded it. "Presumably the others should shoulder the same obligations," he said. He added that AT&T/MediaOne also hopes that fees it pays to subsidize the work of the commission would be shared by its competitors. In negotiating with AT&T/MediaOne's competitors, the document commission officials are using to determine what is fair for each of the new owners is a 1998 agreement between the commission and MediaOne, when the company acquired the franchise. According to this agreement, one level playing field issue is a $1.2 capital improvement fee paid by MediaOne to the commission and Northwest Community Television. The other issue is an institutional network that interconnects city and school district buildings and also connects those buildings to Northwest Community Television headquarters. Most likely, new cable providers will be required to make a cash payment equivalent to MediaOne's cost to install the institutional network. This site and its contents ©2000.
