Decision and Order No. 39

In his evaluation of the quality and quantity of cable services

provided to actual and potential subscribers, the Director finds: 1. Applicant has failed to provide all potential subscribers within its permit area with the cable communications

services requited by its permit;

2. The quality and dependability of service provided by

applicant is erratic and below the quality and dependa

bility contemplated by the service area permit and the rules and regulations governing cable operations; 3. Applicant has failed to provide origination programming within the time constraints and framework it presented at

its heating on its permit application; and 4. Applicant has failed to provide institutional access to

cable as required by its permit.

Applicant, in Permit Number 17 dated August 12, 1971 is required by paragraph 1(a) to provide cable service to all potential subscribers in its permit area within twenty—four months of the issuance of the permit (August 12, 1973). Applicant has not provided service to the following communities: Pablo (partial); Kalihi; Kaimuki; Kapahulu; Iwilei; Aliamanu; Moanalua; and North of Kahaluu to Laie. Applicant’s cable communications service to its subscribers, especially to those residing in Windward communities has been subjected to repeated outages and interruptions. These outages and interruptions result from power “cut offs” which could be minimized with the installa tion of “stand—by” power. Applicant has just begun to consider the installation of these auxiliary power supplies although it was aware of the remedy in 1972.
