C4 Media Cable <br /> <br /> January 9, 1989 ~. c'~' ' <br /> <br /> The Honorable Board of Commissioners <br /> c/o Michael M. Ruffin, County Manager <br /> Cabarrus County <br /> P.O. Box 707 <br /> Concord, N.C. 28026-0707 <br /> <br /> Re: Cable ~v Franchise <br /> <br /> Honorable Commissioners: <br /> <br /> It is with great regret that I must inform you that C4 Media Cable <br /> South, Limited Partnership has decided not to formally accept the <br /> cable television franchise awarded to us on December 5, 1988. <br /> <br /> It is our understanding that prior to our being in a position to <br /> do so, vision Cable secured utility company permission to construct <br /> cable on a large number of the utility poles in the area C4 Media <br /> had proposed to construct. We have observed that Vision Cable has <br /> recently placed strand over a number of miles of road in the <br /> Midland area and has also placed a small amount of cable here and <br /> there. <br /> <br /> Although Vision Cable's construction is rather sporadic at this <br /> time and not contiguous to their activated cable system, they have <br /> effectively succeeded in blocking C4 Media's construction plans. <br /> The number of homes remaining unpassed by strand or cable is too <br /> few at a density too low to be economically feasible for us to <br /> construct as a "stand alone" cable system. <br /> <br /> C4 Media is anxious to see that the residents of the entire Midland <br /> area receive cable television service in a timely manner and we <br /> continue to be hopeful that with encouragement from the Board of <br /> Commissioners, the Midland community Association and other <br /> interested residents, Vision Cable will soon provide cable <br /> television service to all interested citizens in that area of the <br /> County. <br /> <br /> 450 Maple Avenue, East Cable <br /> <br /> Vienna, Virginia 22180 Cuslom('~' 8t, n'k'es <br /> 703/281-7120 I5%X: 703t255-3263 (' t ~ y l{,,t;ili~ms <br /> <br /> <br />
