How can you help as a customer of cable services?

The Centre Area Cable Consortium (“Consortium”)[1] wants to know what residents think about cable television and the services offered by Adelphia.  The Centre Area Consortium includes Patton Township , Benner Township , College Township , Ferguson Township , Harris Township , Halfmoon Township , Borough of Bellefonte and the Borough of State College.  This Consortium has been created jointly by each of the communities to conduct a cable franchise renewal process and negotiations with Adelphia on behalf of each of the Communities. The Consortium is seeking public input as part of its franchise renewal negotiations with Adelphia; it will offer the public three ways to comment:

·         Household Survey.  Starting April 8, 2005 , the Consortium will mail to randomly selected residents questions about cable programming preferences and the services they would like to have.  The Consortium encourages citizens to participate in the survey even if they don’t subscribe to Adelphia’s services.  The survey will be conducted through April 30, 2005 .

·         Open House.  The Consortium will host an open house on May 10, 2005 to give citizens a chance to ask questions about and comment on Adelphia.  This event will be held from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 PM in the Auditorium at the Mt. Nittany Middle School .

·         Written Comments.  The Consortium has established an e-mail account to receive written comments about Adelphia and cable services citizens would like to see in our community.  Citizens can send their comments to cabletv1@statecollegepa.us.  They can also send comments by postal mail to:  Centre Area Cable Consortium, c/o Borough of State College, 243 S. Allen Street , State College , PA 16801 .  Since the Centre Area Consortium includes 8 municipalities, all written comments should include the name and address of the writer.
