I think the best place to begin is to tell you a little bit about the city of Tucson and why we are involved in the cable television franchise. Until just about a year ago, the FCC prohibited cable television from going into the top 100 markets. Because of the cities such as Chicago and Detroit and Tucson were not allowed to have cable communications in any way. So when they dropped that ban about a year ago, we began to franchise some of the largest cities. It was at that time that the city of Tucson began to study cable TV, and why they would want it in a city such as Tucson, and it was about that time that we came to Tucson the City Council is in the process of writing an ordinance that would allow companies to bid on the price for the city of Tucson franchise and we are one of 26 companies that are currently in the city trying to ascertain the needs of the community and find out what we can offer in a cable communications package that would best serve this community.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74840/file/160835#t=411.0,476.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74840/file/160835/transcript/38447/annotation/21","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: Alice Herman represents cable comm general","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74840/file/160835#t=477.0,479.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74840/file/160835/transcript/38447/annotation/22","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: my title is community coordinator and it's my job to go to the community to ascertain if you will the needs in the services the Tucson wants and therefore cable will be cable comm will be able to provide them in its proposal.

They won the franchise. Here in Tucson, one of the last prime markets up for grabs, the sky's the limit and what a company will offer to win, but they need to know what you want. Some groups such as the University of Arizona have invested much time and money in preparing a proposal for the City Council. But other groups notably the city's public school districts have been lagging badly in determining their own needs and may find themselves left out when equipment channels and access are divvied up. To give you some idea of how to prepare a proposal. This is a small part of what the University of Arizona is asking for. Dr. William noise authored the proposal.

It's been around for at least 25 years. Its origins are simple to understand. In smaller towns such as Nogales, Bisbee, or Sierra Vista, television reception was either poor or non existent. Antennas powerful enough to receive our signals from Tucson or Phoenix were expensive and difficult to maintain. So people sometimes formed a loose association and purchased an antenna to share. Soon small companies were franchised to serve entire communities. These were called Community antenna television systems and was simply that a community of people that's shared and antenna, subscribers were usually charged a fee between five and $8 a month for the service. until fairly recently, the Federal Communications Commission restricted the use of community antenna cable systems to towns and cities under the top 100 in population. When the FCC opened up the nation's largest cities to cable, the industry grew up. The small operator became a thing of the past, and the large conglomerate took over. Bitter fights have occurred all over the country between companies vying for a sure win business operation. Another problem is that most cable companies have access to roughly the same technological equipment and can potentially offer the city about the same services.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74840/file/160835#t=973.0,1066.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74840/file/160835/transcript/38447/annotation/39","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: company that will win the franchise will need any competitive advantage that can be found.

This is completely legal, but you should know about it anyway. A company representative comes to town and handpicks a number of the communities leading citizens. The citizens aren't nominally chosen as an advisory board of directors and as representatives of various segments of the community. These local partners are usually given stock options in the parent company to be exercised at the time the franchise is awarded. The fact that very often these rent as citizens have close ties to both political parties and to many council members is we are told purely coincidental. The list of Tucsonans that have an interest in cable television reads like a who's who of Tucsonans political business and Mexican American communities.
