Whether the cable operator substantially complied with the material terms of the existing franchise and applicable law, and the City provided the cable operator sufficient notice and an opportunity to cure any failure to comply; B. Whether the quality of the cable operator's service, including signal quality, response to consumer complaints, and billing practices, was reasonable in light of community needs, and the City provided the cable operator sufficient notice and an opportunity to cure any defects. In reviewing this factor, the City cannot consider the mix or quality of cable services or other services provided over the system (content); C. Whether the cable operator has the financial, legal, and technical ability to provide the services, facilities, and equipment as set forth in its proposal; D. Whether the cable operator's proposal is reasonable to meet the future cable-related community needs and interests, taking into account the cost of meeting such needs and interests; and WHEREAS, the City Council held public meetings on October 16, 2000 and November 6, 2000 as a result of numerous additional complaints by City residents pertaining to Media One's compliance with its franchise, including the issues noted in the City's letter dated November 11, 1999, and those raised at the May 1, 2000 public hearing; and -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 .TIN MEDIA WHEREAS, Media One's franchise, Ordinance 1002, requires Media One to comply with the following standards: 1.

Paragraph 17, Bi-Directional Interconnect Capability: "... All public schools and City's facilities in Franchisee's service area within City shall be interconnected at the request of the appropriate public agency." 3. Paragraph 18, Subscriber Service and Complaint Procedures: "The Franchisee shall have a business and service office in the City to serve the Tustin cable television system.... The Franchisee will maintain sufficient service personnel and equipment in such location(s) for the Franchisee to be able to take action upon customer service calls in the manner specified herein.... The telephone service shall transmit service interruption messages to the service repair force within two (2) hours of receipt of the original call between 8:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Saturdays. The Franchisee shall maintain a service repair force sufficient to respond within twenty-four (24) hours Monday through Friday and within forty-eight (48) hours during a weekend to any individual interruption of service and also a sufficient installation force to perform service installations within ten (10) working days. Service problems that are correctable from the headend station shall be remedied within an eight (8) hour period.... The Franchisee shall keep a maintenance service log for a running three year period which will indicate the nature of each service complaint, its location, the date and time it was received, the disposition of said complaint and the time and date thereof. This log shall be made available for periodic inspection by the City;" and WHEREAS, Tustin City Code Section 7412.c requires Media One to comply with the following service regulations: "1. Limit system failures to minimum time duration by locating and correcting malfunctioning promptly, but in no event longer than twenty-four (24) hours after occurrence, irrespective of holidays or other non-business hours.... -4- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 .TIN MEDIA 3. Render efficient service, making repairs promptly and interrupting service only for good cause and for the shortest time possible. Planned interrupting, insofar as possible, shall be preceded by notice given to subscribers twenty-four (24) hours in advance and shall occur during periods of minimum use of the system;" and WHEREAS, Tustin City Code Section 7412.e requires Media One to comply with the following regulations: "1. It is the desire of the City that all cable television systems franchised hereunder shall, insofar as financially and technically possible, be compatible one with another and with systems adjacent to the City. 2. Wherever it is financially and technically feasible, the Grantee shall so construct, operate and modify the system so as to tie the same into all other systems within and adjacent to the City." NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, finds, determines and orders as follows: SECTION 1: PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT THAT THE CITY SHOULD NOT RENEW MEDIA ONE'S FRANCHISE. That as a preliminary assessment, after having reviewed Media One's performance under its franchise and Media One's proposal for renewal, Media One's franchise should not be renewed. This is not an assessment pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 546(c)(1). The reasons for this assessment are as follows: A. Although the City provided Media One sufficient notice and an opportunity to cure the following problems, Media One has failed to substantially comply with the material terms of its franchise and applicable law: 1. Frequent and prolonged television service interruptions. 2. Rudeness and indifference displayed by Media One customer service representatives. 3. Media One employs customer service representatives who are not knowledgeable about Media One's products and procedures. 4. Telephone service calls are not answered or answered by a recording only. 5. Long hold times for calling customers. 6. Service representatives fail to respond to scheduled on-site technical service calls. 7. Various customer billing issues (i.e. high rates, low service levels, billing errors). -5- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 .TIN MEDIA 8. Limited channel/programming offerings 9. The new equipment that Media One requires customers to use is not easy to use, and is often confusing for customers (multiple boxes and remotes are required). 10. Media One provides poor service to public schools. While some schools are connected to Media One's system, others are not, and those that are connected have experienced outages. B. Although the City provided Media One sufficient notice and an opportunity to cure the following problems, the quality of Media One's service, including signal quality, response to consumer complaints, and billing practices, is unreasonable In light of community needs: 1. Frequent and prolonged television service interruptions. 2. Poor reception and picture quality. 3. Rudeness and indifference displayed by Media One customer service representatives. 4. Media One employs customer service representatives who are not knowledgeable about Media One's products and procedures. 5. Telephone service calls are not answered promptly or are answered by a recording only. 6. Long hold times for calling customers. 7. Service representatives fail to respond to scheduled on-site technical service calls. 8. Various customer billing issues (i.e. high rates, low service levels, billing errors). 9. Limited channel/programming offerings. 10. The equipment that Media One requires of customers is not easy to use, and is often confusing for customers (multiple boxes and remotes are required). 11. Media One provides poor service to public schools. While some schools are connected to Media One's system, others are not, and those that are connected have experienced outages. C. Media One's financial, legal, and technical ability to provide the services, facilities, and equipment set forth in its proposal for franchise renewal, is questionable as follows: 1. Media One is unable to employ sufficient customer service personnel to address the number of customer service complaints. 2. Media One is unable to train customer service and technical personnel to promptly and satisfactorily address customer service requests. -6- 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 .TIN MEDIA D. Media One's franchise renewal proposal is not reasonable to meet the future cable-related community needs and interests, taking into account the cost of meeting such needs and interests, as follows: Media One's proposal fails to provide for live coverage of City Council Meetings and a regularly scheduled rebroadcast at least 2 times, including 1 broadcast during a weekday prime time and 1 broadcast during the weekend, including transmission to the Cox Communications system. While Media One currently provides this service, its renewal proposal suggests that it intends to discontinue this service. 2. Media One's proposal fails to address connectivity with Cox's cable television system, which serves approximately one-third of the City, thereby precluding City Council Meeting coverage for approximately one-third of the City. (See, Tustin City Code Section 7412.e.2). 3. Media One's proposal would reduce customer service standards applicable under the current franchise. For example, the proposal would eliminate the requirement for Media One to maintain sufficient service personnel and equipment for Media One to be able to take action upon customer service calls in the manner specified in the franchise agreement, to respond within a reasonable time to any individual interruption of service, to minimize the delay for service installation, and to keep a maintenance service log over athree-year period containing the disposition of service complaints. Additionally, Media One currently may not be meeting FCC customer service standards, which are desired by the City, and which require the following: • Trained company representatives that will be available to respond to customer telephone inquiries during normal business hours. • Telephone answer times by customer representatives, including wait time that shall not exceed 30 seconds when the connection is made. If the call needs to be transferred, transfer time shall not exceed 30 seconds. • Standard installations will be performed within 7 business days after the order is placed. • Begin working on service interruptions within 24 hours after the interruption becomes known. • The appointment window alternatives for installations, service calls, and other installation activities will be either a specific time, or at maximum, a four-hour time block during normal business hours. • An operator may not cancel an appointment with a customer after the close of business in the business day prior to the scheduled appointment. • If a cable operator representative is running late for an appointment with a customer and well not be able to keep the appointment as scheduled, the customer will be contacted. [47 CFR § 76.309]. 4. Media One's proposal fails to provide documentation of customer service quality assurance efforts and of participation by all customer service staff in training in customer relations. -7- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 .TIN MEDIA 5. Media One's proposal fails to provide free Internet access to City facilities, libraries, and schools. 6. Media One's proposal fails to agree to provide open Internet access in Tustin should it become available to any municipality in the State of California. 7. Media One's proposal fails to assure continued maintenance of a local customer service office. 8. Media One's proposal fails to assure that it will maintain a locally accessible television program production facility. 9. Media One's proposal fails to provide for the upgrade of the City Council television production facilities. 10. Media One's proposal would limit the definition of the gross receipts over which Media One will pay franchise fees as currently defined in Tustin City Code Section 7413 and Ordinance 1002. 11. Media One's proposal would exempt Media One from paying franchise fees in the event that open video service providers using the public right-of-way do not also pay a franchise fee on the same portion of their gross receipts, although open video service providers are subject to separate regulation and requirements under the Cable Act. 12. Media One's proposal would eliminate the requirement for Media One to reimburse City expenses associated with the franchise renewal process. 13. Media One's proposal would limit Media One's duty to provide some free services and minimum service requirements to educational and governmental buildings and institutions. 14. Media One's proposal would require a "more favorable condition" clause while it would eliminate a "more favorable city" clause. SECTION 2: NOTICE TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS: Media One is hereby ordered to produce within thirty (30) days of the date of this Resolution, one copy of the maintenance service log required by Section 18 of its franchise, Ordinance 1002, for the period commencing November 21, 1997 through November 20, 2000, indicating the nature of each service complaint, its location, the date and time it was received, its disposition and the time and date thereof. SECTION 3: REQUEST FOR REVISED OR NEW PROPOSAL AND SUSPENSION OF THE PROVISIONS OF RESOLUTION NO. 99-49. The provisions of Resolution No. 99-49 are hereby suspended, and Media One is requested to submit a revised or new proposal for renewal of its franchise within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of this Resolution. Media One is requested to address in its proposal each of the matters described in Section 1 of this Resolution. -8- EXHIBITA AT&T AT&T Broadband 550 N.

It was the intent of AT&T Broadband to minimize the duplication of work that the City of Tustin might have to engage in by negotiating two Franchise Agreements simultaneously, one with Cox Communications and the other with AT&T Broadband. Therefore, our proposal is submitted as an edited version of the Cox Communications document that was provided to us by the City. We hope this will simplify the process and address all of the concerns that were outlined in your May 8th letter. I would also like to request an opportunity to discuss in more detail the processes that AT&T Broadband will employ to address the customer service concerns that were expressed by the City Council. As you know AT&T Broadband is rapidly completing it's rebuild efforts within the city which will improve the quality of video service within the city and reduce the number of complaints that have been raised by residents regarding their picture quality. I and other AT&T Broadband staff have also met with the City of Tustin staff to coordinate AT&T Broadband's increased involvement with the local community which was requested in your May 8`~ letter by means of participation in Ta~stin Tiller Days. This is just one example of our continued commitment to the city and I welcome the opportunity to meet with the City of Tustin to discuss other possibilities of community involvement. t~~ `a(~ Recycled Paper AT&T Broadband Franchise Renewal September 5, 2000 Pale 2 We look forward to meeting with City of Tustin staff as soon as possible to work out the details of the proposed agreement.
