Mayor David Grant <br /> November 30, 2015 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br /> Commission is expanding the burden on cable customers. The monthly per-subscriber PEG fee <br /> is determined solely on the number of customers that Comcast has, and could rise dramatically <br /> if Comcast loses customers. This means that the PEG fee burden on all cable customers also <br /> rises, and yet this rise has absolutely no relationship to the need of the Commission for <br /> increased PEG funding. <br /> If the Commission continues to require significant up-front capital grants those grants must be <br /> shared by both cable operators. In the alternative, Comcast will also move to a per-month, per- <br /> subscriber PEG fee funding mechanism of$4.15. <br /> Comcast requests that the City Council require these issues be discussed now to ensure that the <br /> obligations on CenturyLink are not more favorable or less burdensome than those in Comcast's <br /> existing franchise. As always, please feel free to call me if you have any questions or would like <br /> to discuss these issues further. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 3 <br /> I , <br /> Emmett V. Coleman <br /> Vice President External Affairs <br /> CC: Brenda Holden, Councilmember <br /> Fran Holmes, Councilmember <br /> Dave McClung, Councilmember <br /> Sue Iverson, Interim City Administrator <br />
