EXHIBIT A - Continued • A- 17. Meredith Cable proposes that interconnection between commonly owned, adjacent franchised systems in the Twin Cities marketplace can be accommodated by making available one (1) 6 NIHZ channel for forward video purposes, one (1) 6 MHZ channel for return video purposes, one (1) 6 MHZ channei for forward data and /or other purposes, and one (1) 6 MHZ channel for return data and/or other purposes. Actual interconnection with other franchise areas will be subject to technical capability of those systems and those franchise areas entering into similar renewal agreements containing similar provisions. • A- 18. 1Vleredith Cable plans to have a 750 MHZ carrier inserted at a level l Odb below the video carriers that will be measured as a normal procedure during service calls. The drop cable and passives will be inspected during normal installations to assure that 750 NIHZ can be passed. Should a drop or associated passive equipment not pass the full 750 MHZ, the address will be noted and at the time the address upgrades service that requires signal above 550 MHZ, the drop and/or associated equipment will be changed out.
