Dear Chairman Webster;
I am writing to inform you of the rate adjustments we are making at TCI Cablevision of
Colorado. Customers bills received in December 1994 will reflect a decrease in Basic Cable
Service and in Expanded Basic Cable Service. Customers without equipment will notice a 5%
decrease in their monthly bills; for customers with addressable converters, the decrease will be
8%.
The new rates reflect our commitment to comply with the FCC rules. Our customers will
receive the attached customer notification information which lists the adjusted rates.
The customer notification information also refers to the FCC Regulatory User Fee.
Beginning in December 1994,the FCC is allowing cable operators to begin adding the federal
Regulatory User Fee to subscriber bills. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.O.
103-66) requires the FCC to assess a fee of$0.37 per subscriber to defray the cost of cable
regulation.
In an Order released October 5, 1994, the Commission set out instructions to operators on
how to recover this fee. For the months of January and February 1995, subscribers will be
assessed a$0.03 monthly charge. It will appear on customer's bills as a line item entitled "FCC
Regulatory Fee". For March 1995 through September 1995,the amount will change to $0.04 per
month.
The Commission has also informed cable operators to evaluate and, if warranted, adjust
their cable rates on a quarterly basis. Because you gave us additional time to calculate the new
rates, I in turn, will hold any review and adjustment of rates until April 1995. In general, a rate
adjustment will only occur for inflation, the addition or deletion of channels and for increases in
programming costs.
I will be contacting you to see if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Kathryn L. Stewart
