• 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 (1) 6 MHZ channel for forward video purposes, one (1) 6 MHZ <br /> channel for return video purposes, one (1) 6 MHZ channel for forward data and/or other <br /> purposes, and one (1) 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 /> • 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 /> B. INSTITUTIONAL NETWORK <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 /> • B - 1. Frequency spectrum (including upstream and downstream); 5 - 450 MHZ. <br /> • B - 2. Channel capacity of 54 channels (16 upstream and 38 downstream). <br /> • B - 3. 15 additional pilot generators. <br /> • B - 4. Re-tuning of 10 existing pilot generators. <br /> • B - 5. Re-tuning of 124 existing amplifiers. <br /> • B - 6. Provision of 20 additional modulators or de-modulators. <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 /> 3 <br />
