Franchise Term The proposed franchise term is fifteen (15) years. The franchise would be for the delivery of cable services and would be nonexclusive. 2. Broadcast Basic Tier While the size, contents, and pricing of a basic cable service package cannot be a formal term of the agreement, Mediacom has represented to the City that it will begin to offer a limited "broadcast basic" package with 21 channels. By federal law, these must include the broadcast TV stations and the local PEG (Public, Educational and Government) access channels. 3. Senior Citizen Discount Mediacom will maintain the current ten percent (10%) Senior Citizen discount on the 72-channel Family Cable tier, which is currently priced at l $45.50 for most subscribers, $40.95 for seniors. There will be no discount on the price of the limited "broadcast basic" package. A subscriber(head of household) who reaches the age of 65 and submits an application to Mediacom with proof of age and proof of at least one other utility in their , name at that address will qualify for the Senior Citizen discount. if 4. Technology Updating Fund ` 6 To keep the cable system as technologically current as possible, Mediacom will contribute $300,000 per year in years one through twelve of the franchise, (totaling $3.6 million), to an Updating Fund. This money can only be spent by joint agreement of the City and Mediacom. 5. System Upgrade Within twenty-four(24) months of the signing of the agreement, Mediacom will upgrade the electronics in their Dubuque cable system to increase the total bandwidth (capacity)from the current 750 MHz to 860 MHz. U Mediacom would expend all or part of the first four years of contributions to the Updating Fund (above) on this upgrade. l a ii E 6. Annexation Consistent with the City's obligation to extend utilities, Mediacom would have up to three years to provide cable television services throughout an annexed area. 7. Digital vs. Analog While this issue will be subject to significant FCC regulation, Mediacom will be permitted to convert digital signals to analog to avoid making old analog television.sets obsolete. They will also strive to pass digital and high-definition (HDTV) signals to the greatest extent possible to accommodate new television receivers designed for these signals. Eventually, the entire television signal spectrum will evolve to digital technology. 'I 8. Institutional Fiber Network (I-Net) . G Within the first 18 months of the agreement, Mediacom will construct a �I new"dark fiber" Institutional Network. The term, "dark fiber" means that users, not Mediacom, provide and operate the end devices to light the fiber. Separate from the subscriber network, this I-Net will interconnect 77 government, educational and not-for-profit facilities in Dubuque. The City will be able to use the I-Net for any non-commercial purpose. Hospitals and medical facility use of the I-Net will be restricted to community emergency situations, and all other not-for-profit facilities, including educational institutions, will be subject to restrictions on their use of the I- Net for communications outside the network. The City will possess an indefeasible right to use the fiber optic plant dedicated to the I-Net, and will also have the option to purchase the I-Net from Mediacom on terms stipulated in the franchise agreement. y 9. ICN Links Mediacom will continue to maintain and operate all existing links to the I P Iowa Communications Network (ICN) at no charge, and the new fiber I-Net may be interconnected with the ICN, consistent with I-Net use requirements. 10. Business Fiber Optic Infrastructure and Services In addition to existing Mediacom fiber optic facilities, as the I-Net is constructed, at least 6 additional new optical fibers will be installed along its route for Mediacom to use in delivering commercial networking services to business and industry. Mediacom will extend fiber in the right-of-way to the curb within six months of a signed agreement by any business for a large bandwidth service requiring fiber, at no additional cost to the s g1 3 jgS p9p l yil i business. The monthly charge for the particular communication service w will be negotiated between that business and Mediacom. 11. Industrial Parks In addition to any existing Mediacom fiber and the new business fibers to i be installed along with the I-Net, Mediacom will extend designated fiber s links to Dubuque Technology Park and Dubuque Industrial Center West within two years of the agreement. a 12. Free Service To Certain Facilities Upon request of the City, Mediacom will provide one activated cable service drop and Basic Cable Service to each school and each facility owned or leased by the City at no charge. Each institution may further distribute the service within the facility at its own expense for uses consistent with the institution's mission. Also, Mediacom will provide one 200-ft. (maximum) drop and maintain one connection for Internet access to one computer terminal in each school or library within the franchise area at no charge. Any additional costs will be borne by the school or library for a time and materials charge. I!j 13. Trenching When either the City or Mediacom is trenching in the public right-of-way, the other party would have the right to install its own conduit at the same time. However, if the City ever establishes a municipal communications utility that competes with Mediacom, the City would have to reimburse Mediacom on a pro-rata basis for its portion of the trenching costs for any cable the City previously installed in Mediacom trenches. 14. Importing Broadcast Television Signals All broadcast television station signals will be imported into the Dubuque system by optical fiber, resolving a 50-year-old reception problem. , 15. Universal Service Mediacom is required to extend residential-type cable service to all businesses and residences within the City. 16. TDD/TTY Mediacom will direct hearing-impaired callers to Answer Iowa, a state- wide service, for assistance. The company will clearly advertise the availability of the Answer-Iowa service. i y I 17. Emergency Alert Unless preempted by the Federal Emergency Alert System, the City would continue to have the ability to issue local alerts, subject to regulation by the FCC. 18. Franchise Fee Mediacom will pay a franchise fee of five percent (5%) of gross revenues 1 on cable services. If any action of law expands the base upon which franchise fees may be collected, Mediacom will automatically expand its computation and payment of franchise fees in Dubuque accordingly. Mediacom will continue to treat the franchise fee on subscriber monthly bills as a cost recovered from within the rates for services, and will not list the franchise fee as an additional charge in the manner they list sales taxes. 1 19. PEG (Public, Educational, Government)Access Channels I Mediacom will continue to provide on its subscriber network two public l access television channels, one shared educational access channel, and one government access channel, as is currently offered. In addition, Mediacom will provide a second educational access channel dedicated to 24-hour, 7-day programming by the Dubuque Community Schools. On or before December 31, 2006, Mediacom will also make PEG Access programming available to digital subscribers through its Video On Demand service. At such future time as Mediacom carries local broadcast stations li in high definition (HDTV), any PEG Access channel will also be transmitted in HDTV format upon request of the entity managing the I channel Throughout the term of the franchise, Mediacom will continue to provide studio production facilities, production assistance, editing, scheduling and playback, equipment maintenance, training, outreach, management and administrative support for users of the public access channels at the same level as was provided as of January 1, 2005. 20. Capital Grants for PEG Access Equipment and Facilities Separate from the franchise fee, Mediacom will deposit 1.75% of gross revenues in an interest-bearing account from which the City may draw for capital support for PEG and I-Net use, in its sole discretion, provided that the City will not use more than 50% for [-Net support. 21. Charitable Foundation While not included in the franchise agreement, Mediacom will form a charitable foundation to which the company will contribute .25% of cable a service gross revenues (estimated at $25,000 per year)to distribute in the I community. Initially, the fund will focus upon arts and cultural affairs. The board of the foundation will include Mediacom employees and members of the City's Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission. 22.
