Dear Mr. Davison:

As you know, SureWest TeleVideo filed an amended Application for a state video franchise with the Commission on April 15, 2009. On April 29, 2009 the Commission’s Executive Director deemed the Application complete, and issued a California Video Franchise Certificate to SureWest TeleVideo. As your community is an affected local entity, we wanted to be sure to provide you notice of this determination within the 30-day period specified in Section 5840(h) of the Public Utility Code.

SureWest TeleVideo’s amended Application, as well as the Commission’s April 29, 2009 notification of completeness and the Franchise Certificate itself, can be found on the Video Franchise page of the Commission’s web site at: www.cpuc.ca.gov.

Your local entity should be taking certain actions under the state video franchising statute (AB2987 or DIVCA), such as adopting customer service standards. In addition, you should notify the new franchisee regarding your franchise fee, and if you wish carriage of PEG channels. These are just examples. There may be other steps that you wish to take as well under the provisions of DIVCA. In this regard, you may find the information on SCAN-NATOA’s web site useful (http://www.scannatoa.org/info_docs.html). Also, feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Yours truly,

Michael Morris
