SAMMONS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. RECEIVED 'NAR 2 41994 September 30, 1993

Alexandra Wilson Chief, Cable Services Division 1;F;r-==-­ Mass Media Bureau Federal Communications Commission 1919 M Street, N.W. ~_1..)·:<~ Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: FCC Rate Survey Dear Ms. Wilson: Enclosed please find Sammons communications, Inc.'s response to the FCC's Rate Survey. The enclosed information reflects Sammons' 10 largest systems, all of which anticipate utilizing the benchmark methodology; however, we reserve the right to utilize the cost of service method after we review the Commission's regulations on cost of service. While all of the rate adjustments were revenue neutral, most of our systems did experience a rate increase in the tier level of service. At the same time, all but one of the surveyed systems experienced a decrease in the basic service charge. Despite increases in the tier service rate, Sammons' rates remain below the FCC benchmarks. I urge the FCC not to focus too much attention on the slight increases to service rates without looking at the overall picture. We now have subscribers who are able to purchase more service and equipment than .previously. Prior to the realignment of cost, it was not unusual to have certain SUbscribers complain that it was very inconvenient and often physically impossible for them to get up to change channels as they desired; however, the same subscribers were on a fixed income and felt the charge for a remote control was beyond their bUdget. Now, those same subscribers while experiencing a small increase in service rates are able to enjoy the benefits of a remote control at a very reasonable rate of 50 cents per month. Furthermore, those individuals on fixed income or other bUdgetary restraints, who could not enjoy cable service on all television sets because of the additional outlet charge, now may obtain service on numerous sets without this extra charge. Again, they may experience a slight increase in the service charge, but the overall level of service and value has increased. Please note that some responses are stated as "unknown." Most of our systems had, as of April 5, 1993, as many as 15 different installation/service products. A complete itemization and

The total revenue earned fro;-;i,",~....,-ib&tlrr services is included on line 25. We are choosing to use the Hourly Service Charge for all of these services going forward. The anticipated monthly revenue, as of September 1, 1993, from this activity is included on line 25. Therefore, please accept that the volume of prewired, unwired, visit and no - visit installations is not material to the survey, and will not substantially alter the information reported. My billing records do not report the number of subscribers receiving an increase/decrease in their bill for regulated services. I have done my best to estimate the number of these subscribers.
