<br />EXHIBIT A - Continued <br /> <br />A - 17. Meredith Cable proposes that interconnection between commonly owned, <br />adjacent franchised systems in the Twin Cities marketplace can be accommodated by <br />making available one (I) 6 MHZ channel for forvvard video purposes, one (I) 6 NŒZ <br />channel for return video purposes, one (I) 6 ~ channel for forvvard data and lor other <br />purposes, and one (I) 6 MHZ channel for return data and/or other purposes. Actual <br />interconnection with other franchise areas will be subject to technical capability of those <br />systems and those franchise areas entering into similar renewal agreements containing <br />similar provisions. <br /> <br />A - 18. Meredith Cable plans to have a 750 MHZ carrier inserted at a level 10db below <br />the video carriers that will be measured as a normal procedure during service calls. The <br />drop cable and passives will be inspected during normal installations to assure that 750 <br />MHZ can be passed. Should a drop or associated passive equipment not pass the full 750 <br />MHZ, the address will be noted and at the time the address upgrades service that requires <br />signal above 550 MHZ, the drop and/or associated equipment will be changed out <br /> <br />B. INSTITUTIONAL NETWORK <br /> <br />Meredith Cable proposes to meet the needs of institutions and users by upgrading the existing <br />Institutional Network, including fiber capacity in the system to facilitate future Institutional <br />Network enhancements, and with mutually acceptable franchise language relating to technical and <br />performance standards for the Institutional Network. This plan will offer flexibility and <br />alternatives to local governments, public school districts, private schools, higher educational <br />institutions, libraries and the social service community for the delivery and exchange of video and <br />telecommunications services. Specifically, Meredith Cable proposes to make the following <br />franchise commitments: <br /> <br />B-1. Frequency spectrum (including upstream and downstream); 5 - 450 ìvŒ.Z. <br /> <br />· B-2. Channel capacity of 54 channels (16 upstream and 38 downstream). <br /> <br />· B-3. 15 additional pilot generators. <br /> <br />B - 4. Re-tuning of 10 existing pilot generators. <br /> <br />B - 5. Re-tuning of 124 existing amplifiers. <br /> <br />B - 6. Provision of20 additional modulators or de-modulators. <br /> <br />B - 7. Standby power with full battery placement. <br /> <br />· B- 8. Four (4) count shadow fiber placed along that part of the subscriber network that <br />parallels the Institutional Network. <br /> <br />'" <br />,) <br />
