WHEREAS, in its Memorandum Opinion and ORDER, released December 31, 1996, the FCC
stated that cable operators may adjust maximum permitted rates in their subsequent rate filings to
account for unrecovered changes in external costs incurred between September 30, 1992, and the
operator's initial date of regulation;
WHEREAS, on July 25, 1997, the County received a report from its consultants indicating that
Falcon's said filing was in compliance with FCC rules and procedures, and that the County in its
discretion, could find the requested maximum permitted rate to be reasonable.

Falcon Cable Media, serving franchise NC-OI52, County of New Hanover

BY THE COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER:
WHEREAS, on June 30, 1997, Falcon Cable Media (Falcon) submitted an FCC-1205
Equipment and Installation Costs filing for regulated cable services with New Hanover County, NC-
0152. This filing was submitted with an FCC-1240 filing and covers the rates that may be charged
subscribers served by Falcon within unincorporated New Hanover County for a 12-month period
beginning on October I, 1996, which is the Projected Period set out in the FCC-1240 filing;
WHEREAS, on August 25, 1997 the County received a report from its consultants indicating
that Falcon's said FCC-l205 filing was in compliance with Federal Communications Commission
procedures, allowing for the adjustment of equipment and installation rates based on updated capital and
labor cost information;
WHEREAS, New Hanover County has authority to regulate equipment and installation rates
for basic cable service assessed subscribers within NC-OIS2, New Hanover County, by Falcon;
WHEREAS, Falcon has elected to use fixed rates in the calculation of its Hourly Service
Charge for installation and maintenance of regulated customer equipment;
WHEREAS, Falcon has not filed to continue to collect from its subscribers a Wire Maintenance
Agreement fee of$1.50; and
WHEREAS, a stated policy of the 1992 Cable Act is to ensure that "consumer interests are
protected in the receipt of cable service. "
I
IT IS A FINDING:
THAT Falcon FCC1205 filing is in compliance with Federal Communications Commission
procedures and there is evidence Falcon can support a maximum Hourly Service Charge of$73.26, and
monthly fees of$1.95 for non-addressable converters, and $0.27 for remote controls for 1997-98; but
THAT Falcon Cable Media has failed to meet the ~76.309 of the FCC Customer Service
obligations where "installations, outages and service calls, under normal operating conditions, each of
the following standards will be met no less than ninety five (95) percent of the time measured on a
quarterly basis. Standard installations are to be performed within seven (7) business days after an
ORDER has been placed and, excluding conditions beyond the control of the operator, Falcon Cable
Media is to begin working on service interruptions promptly and in no event later than 24 hours after
the interruption becomes known;" and
THAT Falcon Cable Media has failed to comply with the FCC's provisions regarding
Communications between cable operators and cable subscribers where billing and complaint procedures,
including the address and telephone number of the local franchise authority's cable office are to be
printed on the customer's monthly invoice.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
THAT, the Hourly Service Charge assessed subscribers within NC-OI52, New Hanover
County, shall not exceed the current maximum permitted rate of$63.34; and the monthly lease rate for
non-addressable converters shall not exceed $1.88, and the monthly lease rate for remote controls shall
not exceed $0.18;
THAT, Falcon suspend its Wire Maintenance Agreement service fee beginning October 1,
1997; and
THAT, the failure to file for the Wire Maintenance Agreement charge is the basis for the
suspension of the Wire Maintenance Charge.
