RE: Time Warner Cable
On every project we've built on Denton Tap, we provided conduit for TWC. In
every case, they told the first tenant who called them it would cost $1000
to $1500 to get service because the customer would have to install the wire.
I don't know if they do that to homeowners, but none of my office users ever
subscribe for this reason.
If you want us to talk to TWC, we can do so, or if you want to set up
something with staff, that's fine as well.

Greg,
As silly as it sounds, the City cannot prevent a franchise like Time
Warner from coming into a neighborhood. They have the right to use out
rights-of-way and can actually come in after the fact. Our experience
is that when that happens with any utility, they really make a mess.
Perhaps approaching them to see if they are willing to pay for it, or in
the alternative, sign a binding agreement that they will not pursue
business in the area makes sense. The only issue I see with that is
what do we do when a subsequent homeowner requests services from them.

Hi Clay:
Unless the City has a contract requiring Time Warner in our project, we
want
to eliminate their $50,000 conduit or give them the option of paying
for it.
I spoke with another developer two weeks ago and he said they wouldn't

even
go into his last deal against FIOS.
Can we eliminate this? If so, we have to delete the word "cable" from
the
private infrastructure definition as we complete these amendments.
Thanks,
