Comcast worked extensively with the Colorado DOR to demonstrate that due to the changes in technology the headend table previously being utilized was not sufficient for the computer based infrastructure now present in the headend. The DOR agreed and this equipment was put on a 4 year depredation life schedule which appears on the State of Colorado's Depreciation Tables on Addendum 4-C under Commercial schedule (Telecommunications personal property: High Tech (excluding towers).
