ORAL PRESENTATIONS 108152 - Pierre Denault, 205 Lovejoy, reported that on March 11 the Courier carried an article on TCI and Cedar Falls regarding the controversy on reporting of the loss of customers. The article didn't state that TCI had upgraded the six thousand Cedar Falls customers to fiber optic service compared to the sixteen thousand Waterloo customers without fiber. Another article was written about the rate increase that TCI is proposing. Waterloo customers will be paying almost two dollars more per month than Cedar Falls customers for poorer reception and service without fiber optic connections. Denault hopes that this administration would take a strong stance with TCI about these issues. As a member of the cable commission, he was on the negotiating team for the new cable franchise agreement. TCI's proposal to replace fiber with data cable is a dishonest representation of the contract. Denault suggested that Waterloo consider buying air time to run an ad in TCI's backyard to report on the dishonest tactics of TCI and its president Mr. Malone. Jordan/Collier that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Six. Absent: Anders. Motion carried.
