2007 forum dealing with the proposed contract with AT&T excellent on Sunday and to run again Friday on CAT 18

From Richard Drake's Street Jazz blog:

2007 AT&T forum - the Promise and the Reality?

In early 2007, Fayetteville held a public forum dealing with the proposed contract with AT&T. The forum, which was put together by the Telecomm Board, featured representatives from AT&T, local government, the Telecomm Board, and members of the community.
Many members of the community were contacted for input, when putting together questions for the forum.
Now, when many members of the public seem concerned about AT&T's u-verse - particularly as it relates to PEG programming - it may be time to revisit that forum, and hear the concerns raised by the public, and the responses and reassurances given by those from AT&T.
The forum will be replayed on Community Access Television on Friday (7:30pm).
C.A.T. is shown on Channel 18 of the Cox Channel line-up in Fayetteville
Those outside the Fayetteville viewing area can see the program online at: www.catfayetteville.org
Programs shown on the website are seen at the same time as they are shown on C.A.T.

I watched most of the replay of that old forum last night and Richard is correct about its importance and relevance now.
Thursday's Telecom board meeting agenda includes a brief report on the U-verse situation and public comment will be welcome at 5:30 p.m. in the council chamber at city hall.

The following Tuesday, February 24, a forum sponsored by the Telecom board in the same room begins at 6:30 p.m. with discussion of some residents' complaints to be the focus. Everyone is welcome to attend and speak at these meetings. And both email and telephone access will be provided during the meetings. Also, both meetings are to be available online through the city's Web site.

Minutes of January 15, 2009, telecom-board meeting

Telecommunications Board Meeting Minutes
January 15, 2009
Room 219, 113 West Mountain
5:30 p.m.

Board members present were Sales, Cusanelli, Graves, Shepherd, Hilton and Mayes. Also in attendance: Community Access Television (CAT) Manager Sky Blaylock.

Election Of A New Chair
Vice Chairman Sales opened the meeting and asked for nominations for chair.

Cusanelli nominated Aubrey Shepherd.

Hilton made the second.

The vote was unanamous in favor of the motion.

Chairman Shepherd asked that board member Cusanelli act as parliamentarian.

Hilton suggested that the chair ask for additional comments each time before moving onto other agenda items. It was hoped by Hilton that this would avoid interruptions.

Shepherd welcomed new board member Andrew Mayes.

Approval of November 20, 2008 Minutes

Hilton noted an error on page two; the word “compliant” should be “complaint”

Graves moved to approve the minutes as amended.

The second was made by Cusanelli and the motion passed.

City 16 Television Report
Shepherd read the written report submitted by City 16 TV Station Manager and Public, Education and Government (PEG) Center Office Coordinator Ric delaHoussaye.

Hilton asked if the noted change to dimmable fluorescent lights was through out the building.

Blaylock said it was just in the control room and the editing suites but there are plans to change out the studio lights in the future.

Cusanelli moved to accept the report.

Graves seconded the motion.

The motion passed.

CAT Report
Blaylock distributed flyers promoting the community media summit in March, the planning of which is on-going. She then gave a demonstration of CAT channel 18 being web streamed and said it could be found on the web at catfayetteville.org. She complimented University of Arkansas work study student Flint Woods on his work to bring this to fruition. In addition, she thanked the Northwest Arkansas Community Foundation and the City of Fayetteville for the funding they have provided CAT.

Shepherd asked if any of the programming would be archived for on-demand playback.
Blaylock said not currently but that is a possibility. Other features of the new site are an online dub request form and registration forms for workshops.

As a side note, Shepherd warned that the one year time limit on city meetings on granicus is about to expire for January 2008.

Compliments
Shepherd read a complimentary email to City 16 from former City Alderman Nancy Allen. A second compliment from United Way was read thanking the Cable Administration staff for their financial support in the City’s fund drive.

Complaints
Three resolved complaints concerning Cox were read.

One complaint regarding AT&T U-verse that has yet to be addressed was read.

Cusanelli explained that AT&T is working on getting its U-verse service to all of Fayetteville and asked that would-be subscribers be patient with the process. He added that the channel lineup can be found at www.att.com. He noted that the religious channels are on the lowest subscription tier and soon the PEG channels will be available. He added that for those subscribers on the fringe area, the PEG channels will be available on Dish Network.

Discussion Of The Forum And Brainstorming Session
This is in regards to the Jim Bemis complaint about an alderman’s request for forums that were denied by the previous city administration.

Hilton suggested a planning session to move forward on this. A committee consisting of Bemis, Hilton, Shepherd and Graves was self selected to do this and noon Monday, January 26 at the PEG Center was chosen.

Shepherd said Hilton will coordinate this with an agenda. It is an open meeting for the public and will be taped by City 16. He added that the City 16 policy inconsistencies that need to be remedied will be part of the discussion in both the forum and the brainstorming session.

Citizen Jim Bemis then addressed the board, welcomed Mayes and complimented CAT on the web streaming of its programs.
Concerning his previously filed complaint he said the purpose was “to have a complete complaint process.” He said he sees the forum and brainstorming session as a discussion of the roles, responsibilities and jurisdiction of the TCB, the city council and the city administration concerning the legal obligations and administrative responsibilities for the development and interpretation of the Fayetteville Government Channel policies and procedures. This would establish who is in charge Bemis said. In addition, he mentioned the April 2008 Forum on Forums and the unaddressed agenda items that still need to be thought out.

Graves said the issues Bemis raised were to be discussed in the forum but not in the January 26 planning meeting.

Hilton asked for forum participants from the board.

Cusanelli and Shepherd said they would participate.

Mayes said he might.

Old Business
Shepherd read the suggested changes to the City 16 message board metric.

Hilton said that since this is a performance measure it should be voted on and moved to accept the change.

The second was unidentified.

The motion passed.

New Business
Hilton suggested and moved to have LIVE phone-in and email participation in future TCB meetings to encourage public participation.

The second was made by Graves

The motion passed.

Bemis asked that his November 17 request/complaint concerning the policy and procedures subcommittee be taken up by the board at their next meeting.
He claimed this is a new, separate complaint as he did not meet the time requirements on a former complaint.

Graves sought a summary statement in the November 17 Bemis document and settled on the complaint being about how the board arrived at the new policy.

Bemis agreed with her.

Adjournment
Sales moved that the meeting adjourn.

Graves made the second.

The motion passed and the meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:50 p.m.

Published schedule not being followed today

Government channel is not following the schedule published today on this Web log or in today's Living Section of the Northwest Arkansas Times. This is probably a technical problem and is not the fault of the scheduler or of the newspaper.
When the staff is at work Monday, the station likely will be put on schedule again very quickly.

Cancel what I said about The Times not having a valid guide in Sunday's
paper. They are going the extra mile for us. Thanks to them.

Jeff Erf sends information on Cox Cable Internet developments

Attention Cox "high-speed" Internet users...



In February, Cox will begin testing a new method of managing traffic on our high-speed
Internet network in our Kansas and Arkansas markets. During the occasional times the
network is congested, this new technology automatically ensures that all time-sensitive
Internet traffic – such as web pages, voice calls, streaming videos and gaming – moves
without delay. Less time-sensitive traffic, such as file uploads, peer-to-peer and Usenet
newsgroups, may be delayed momentarily – but only when the local network is congested. Our
goal is to ensure that customers continue to experience the consistently fast, reliable
Internet service they've come to expect from Cox.

City 16 TV Report

January 12, 2009

Since the last TCB meeting the station has purchased two hard drives and recorders, a Panasonic camera that records to memory card and tape, a camera case, two Sennheiser wireless microphones, a replacement power supply and a tripod. In conjunction with Community Access Television, we are changing out the lights in the PEG Center to dimmable fluorescent bulbs.

After 18 months with the Media Star playback system, we think we have worked out the bugs and are looking to add capacity to the system.

New parking signs have been placed on our parking lot as we have agreed to share some of our spaces with Police Department squad cars. This is due to the construction of the new Municipal Courts Building.

Please include the time, date, location, nature and specifics.

Complainant saw the advertisement for AT&T’s U-verse at the AT&T store on 6th Street.
When he asked to subscribe he was told it is not available for his area as the lines have not been laid yet. He claims this is false advertising and should not be allowed by the City.

NATURE OF COMPLIMENT/COMPLAINT: CABLE SERVICE

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPLIMENT/COMPLAINT/PROBLEM.
Please include the time, date, location, nature and specifics.
Complainant said a Cox Cable promotion offering a monthly rate of $15.95 was left on her doorknob in January or February. She called to inquire and was told the promo had changed to include six months free cable in addition to the stated rate. Both she and a neighbor signed up. When the free six months ended in August their bills were more than $15.95 and the first of several visits and calls to Cox was made. Some adjustments to her bill have been made but she still hasn’t been billed the promised rate. Apparently neither has the bill of her neighbor.

NATURE OF COMPLAINT: CABLE SERVICE

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPLIMENT/COMPLAINT/PROBLEM.
Please include the time, date, location, nature and specifics.
Complainant called Cox six weeks ago for a cable television hookup at xxxxxxxxxxx Road, Fayetteville. Cox sent an employee to mark the ground which was later washed away by rain. Complainant called again last week and the ground was re-marked. Still waiting for cable connection he phoned today and was told by the service representative that “it is too much expense to run the line.”

NATURE OF COMPLIMENT: CABLE SERVICE

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPLIMENT/COMPLAINT/PROBLEM.
Please include the time, date, location, nature and specifics.
Complainant is unhappy that Cox is moving Christian channels 65 and 74 from her subscription tier and into one that costs $18 more a month. She has received these channels for a long time and speculates that because they are very popular, Cox has found a way to increase their income.
The Cox representative she contacted told her there are no plans to substitute programming on the channels. Besides getting fewer channels at the same cost, she fells discriminated against as there are no other channels that are being moved that she knows of.
In addition, complainant wished to talk with a local representative and plans to visit the local Cox office in order to accomplish this as the local phone number connects with Cox employees in other cities.

ACTION TAKEN:
The customer concern was shared with Jamie Frye, Cox customer service representative. Here are the comments submitted after speaking with the customer:

“Customer feels like it is ‘discrimination’ to be moving the religious channels, especially in this time. Upset that we are moving stations but not replacing them with anything, or reducing her costs. I explained the adjustments help Cox to offer advanced services in the future, including additional HD channels and more VOD content that our customers are frequently requesting. I offered the customer a free digital upgrade for 6 months. Also, I offered to have a tech come out and install the service at no cost. I emphasized the benefits and the value of the digital services.

Complainant is going to discuss this with her husband and call me back after the Thanksgiving holiday.”

I have submitted the items below to the Telecommunications Board “FORUM” on the City of Fayetteville website, as well as in previous individual email messages to all Board members, but I have received no response from the Board or from the offices of the Cable Administration. I find no indication that they will be considered at the November Board meeting. Thus, I am asking that the Board consider the below listed items to the agenda, as agreed upon by the Board at its October meeting. I believe that I have followed all provisions of the Fayetteville Government Channel policy and the Board’s administrative rules in making the requests and complaints outlined below. The items are linked electronically to the Board’s FORUM in this message. Given the lack of Board response, please also consider this form as a complaint that the Board’s policy and procedures for citizen complaints and the complaint appeal process have not been
responsive to my complaint and attempts to follow the the Board’s Appeal Process. I am delivering a hard copy of this form to the Cable Administration offices today, November 17, 2008.

Suggested Changes To Reporting City 16 TV Community Events Calendar
January 15, 2009

Submitted by Ric delaHoussaye
PEG Center Office Coordinator


As discussed at the November 20, 2008 meeting concerning how the community events calendar (message board) metric is reported each quarter, the staff unanimously recommends to the Telecommunications Board that we count the number of pages completed rather than the number of messages submitted; a ratio of 3:1.
