Robert J.V.Vose <br /> >r -.:; 470 US Bank Plaza <br /> �s w - zoo south Sixth Street <br /> Minneapolis MN 55402 <br /> = --_ (612)337-9275 telephone <br /> tt Y� i (612)337-9310 fax <br /> http.//www.kennedy-graven.com <br /> we- ek rvosegkennedy-graven.corn <br /> CHARTERED <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Sherburne/Wright Counties Communications Commission <br /> FROM: Bob Vose, Attorney <br /> DATE: July 30, 2012 <br /> RE: Attorney's Report <br /> Franchise Fee Audit <br /> The Commission solicited quotes from several auditors in relation to a possible franchise <br /> fee audit. The quotes came in higher than anticipated. At the last Commission meeting, I <br /> was directed to investigate whether any Minnesota communities have completed <br /> franchise fee audits that have uncovered significant underpayments. <br /> Red Wing completed an audit several years ago and uncovered a very small <br /> underpayment. I have identified no other communities that have audited Charter's <br /> franchise fee payments in recent years. However, I am representing Owatonna in a <br /> franchise renewal with Charter and the city is considering a franchise fee audit. I will <br /> report on the results of such audit, if any, when completed. <br /> Charter Internet Service <br /> Charter has a new CEO-- former Cablevision executive Tom Rutledge. Under the new <br /> CEO. Charter recently announced several important changes to its cable modem services. <br /> First, Charter announced it will not continue to support customer-owned modems. <br /> Customers will he required to rent a modem from Charter and the rental fee is being <br /> rolled into the base price for the service. <br /> In addition, to boost broadband revenue, Charter is discontinuing its two cheapest high- <br /> speed Internet packages. Customers with an existing 3 Mbps or 15 Mbps account can <br /> keep their existing package but new subscribers will only have a choice of either 30 or <br /> 100 Megabits per second tiers. <br /> 408558 RJV 511255-1 <br />
