The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Annual Report is forward looking, such as information relating to future capital expenditures and the effects of future regulation and competition. Such forward looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results in the future from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, uncertainties relating to economic conditions, acquisitions and divestitures, government and regulatory policies, the pricing and availability of equipment, materials, inventories and programming, technological developments and changes in the competitive environment in which the Company operates. PART I ITEM 1 BUSINESS Comcast Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is principally engaged in the development, management and operation of wired and wireless telecommunications and the provision of content. Wired telecommunications includes cable and telecommunications services in the United States ("US") and the United Kingdom ("UK"). Wireless telecommunications includes cellular services, personal communications services, provided through the Company's investment in Sprint Spectrum, and direct to home satellite television. Content is provided through QVC, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("QVC"), an electronic retailer, Comcast Content and Communication Corporation ("C3") and other programming investments (see "General Developments of Business"). The Company's consolidated domestic cable operations served more than 3.4 million subscribers and passed more than 5.5 million homes as of December 31, 1995. The Company owns a 50% interest in Garden State Cablevision L.P. ("Garden State"), a cable communications company serving approximately 200,000 subscribers and passing approximately 292,000 homes. In the UK, a subsidiary of the Company, Comcast UK Cable Partners Limited ("Comcast UK Cable"), holds ownership interests in four cable and telephony businesses that collectively have the potential to serve over 1.6 million homes. The Company provides cellular telephone communications services pursuant to licenses granted by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") in markets with a population of over 8.3 million, including the area in and around the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the State of Delaware and a significant portion of the State of New Jersey. Through QVC, the Company markets a wide variety of products and reaches over 52 million homes across the US and an additional 4 million in the UK. The Company was organized in 1969 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and has its principal executive offices at 1500 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19102-2148, (215) 665-1700. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS See Note 11 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for information about the Company's operations by industry segment. GENERAL DEVELOPMENTS OF BUSINESS Regulatory Developments The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Telecom Act"), the most comprehensive reform of the nation's telecommunications laws since the Communications Act of 1934 (the "Communications Act"), became effective in February 1996. The 1996 Telecom Act will result in changes in the marketplace for cable communications, telephone and other telecommunications services (see "Description of the Company's Businesses - Wired Telecommunications - Cable Communications - Legislation and Regulation"). The Company has settled the majority of outstanding proceedings challenging its rates charged for regulated cable services. In December 1995, the FCC adopted an order approving a negotiated settlement of rate complaints pending against the Company for cable programming service tiers ("CPSTs") which provided approximately $6.6 million in refunds, plus interest, being given in the form of bill credits, to approximately 1.3 million of the Company's cable subscribers. This FCC order resolved 160 of the Company's benchmark rate cases covering the period September 1993 through July 1994 and 104 of the Company's cost-of-service cases for CPSTs covering the period September 1993 through December 1995. As part of the negotiated settlement, the Company agreed to forego certain inflation and external cost adjustments for systems covered by its cost-of-service filings for CPSTs. The FCC's order has been appealed to a federal appellate court by a local franchising authority whose rate complaint against the

  • Public Benefits Or Private? the Case of the Canadian Media Research
    Public benefits or private? The case of the Canadian Media Research Consortium Marc Edge, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Mass Communication Sam Houston State University Huntsville, Texas, U.S.A. [email protected] Submission #55 A PAPER FOR PRESENTATION TO JOURNALISM RESEARCH IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, NOVEMBER 19-21, ZURICH ABSTRACT Canada exhibits one of the world’s highest levels of media ownership concentration, due in part to a failure of regulation. In an attempt to ensure that a portion of the benefits from broadcasting takeovers and acquisitions accrued to the public, the broadcasting regulator Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission established the Public Benefits program in the late 1980s. Under the program, a minimum of 10 percent of the value of acquired broadcasting licences was required to be devoted to worthwhile initiatives. In the Cdn $2.3-billion takeover of television network CTV by Bell Canada Enterprises in 2000, however, a portion of the Cdn$230 million Public Benefits package was devoted to funding a Canadian Media Research Consortium established between several universities. Mandated to “focus on the development of Canadian data for use in media planning,” the CMRC issued its first report in 2003. A Report Card on the Canadian News Media was criticized for flawed methodology and was cited as an example of “administrative” marketing research performed to the benefit of media owners rather than to the benefit of the public. The CMRC issued a five-year retrospective study titled The Credibility Gap: Canadians and their News Media in 2008 that addressed some of the earlier methodological flaws and perhaps as a result reached different conclusions.

Goldberg Steven F. Morris National Cable & Telecommunications Association 25 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. – Suite 100 Washington, D.C. 20001-1431 September 24, 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the Commission has recognized, any strategy to promote increased deployment and adoption of broadband must take steps to improve the business case for investing in broadband facilities, particularly in rural areas. Pole attachment fees are a significant cost associated with deploying and operating broadband networks, and therefore ensuring that those rates are fair for all broadband providers should be a key element of the Commission’s National Broadband Plan. The Petition for Declaratory Ruling filed by four large electric companies in WC Docket No. 09-154 is completely out of touch with the national emphasis on broadband. The Petition would double or triple the rate applicable to the vast majority of cable operator pole attachments. Such an approach would increase the cost of deploying and operating broadband networks by hundreds of millions of dollars annually, in direct contravention of the Commission’s policy goals. If the Commission is to achieve the congressional goal of universal access to broadband capability, it must pursue a different course than the one proposed by the electric companies.

The Case of the Canadian Media Research Consortium Marc Edge University of the South Pacific ABSTRACT The broadcasting regulator Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission established its Public Benefits program in the late 1970s. It eventually came to re - quire a minimum 10 percent of the value of acquired broadcasting licences to be devoted to worthwhile initiatives. A portion of a CAD $230-million Public Benefits package in 2000 was devoted to funding a Canadian Media Research Consortium (CMRC) established between sev - eral universities.

KEYWORDS Broadcasting policy; Canadian Media Research Consortium; Ethics; Ownership (concentration/competition); Regulation/CRTC RÉSUMÉ Le Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes, un organisme de réglementation, a établi sa politique sur les avantages tangibles à la fin des années 70. Cette politique exige qu’au moment de l’achat d’un permis de radiodiffusion, 10% au minimum de la valeur du permis soit consacré à de bonnes causes. Des 230 millions de dollars de bénéfices tangibles disponibles en l’an 2000, une proportion a permis la création du Consortium canadien de recherche sur les médias (CCRM), le résultat d’une entente entre plusieurs universités.

  • Regulation of Newspaper/Broadcasting, Media Cross-Ownership in Canada
    MEDIA CROSS-OWNERSHIP 261 Regulation of Newspaper/Broadcasting, Media Cross-Ownership in Canada DAVID TOWNSEND* Last summer, the CRTC was provided with a policy directive on one aspect of media cross-ownership, newspapers!broadcasting combinations. This article, by examining the transcripts, interventions and decisions of the six hearings held pursuant to the directives at the point of writing, seeks to more fully report these cases and rei'eal how various provisions of the directives have been interpreted. L'été dernier, on a soumis à la C.R.T.C. une directive de principes portant sur un aspect du droit diversifie de propriété des media—la comlienaison journal-radiodiffusion. Cette étude cherchera à exposer l'état de cette affaire à l'aide d'un examen des copies de discours, des interventions, et des décisions obtenues durant les six audiences tenues suite à la mise en oeuvre de la directive. De plus, l'étude fera connaître les diverses interprétations qu'ont reçues les dispositions de cette directive. INTRODUCTION On July 29, 1983, by Order-in-Council, the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission was provided with a policy directive to address the problem of media cross-ownership. The explanatory note which accompanied Direction to the C.R.

INTRODUCTION Historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., has said, "Karl Marx held that history is shaped by control of the means of production; in our times history is shaped by control of the means of communication."' Over the past seven years, the issue of whether aliens should be allowed to control United States cablevision systems has steadily intensified. The Canadian impact is now significant, and American cable companies are objecting to their presence. American cable interests have twice peti- tioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), asking that the Commission impose citizenship requirements upon cable owner- ship.2 In July 1981, a bill was introduced in the United States House of Representatives to severely restrict alien ownership of cable systems and to force divestiture In California, a bill was introduced in Janu- ary 1982 to similarly restrict Canadian cable ownership in the state.4 The argument for restricting alien ownership is two-fold.
