Accelerating Digital Deployment Unications Organizational Structure and Design Case study Tele Communications Inc: Accelerating Digital Deployment Submitted By: Abhijoy Dasgupta (U109101) Anuj Das (U109107) Dipanwita Mahapatra (U109114) Rakesh Das (U1091 26 ) Sushma M Rao (U1091 45) Zarine Ali (U109151 ) 1 | P a g e Tele Communications Inc: Accelerating Digital Deployment Organizational Structure and Design Case study Tele communications Inc: A Brief Background Principally, TCI is a cable company. More specifically, TCI is a diversified corporation that holds a variety of interests through its subsidiaries, TCI Communications ("TCI-C"), Liberty Media Group("Liberty Media"), and TCI Ventures Group. TCI-C is one of the largest providers of cable television service in the United States. Through its subsidiaries, TCI-C delivers a wide range of video programming, including local broadcast stations; national, regional, and local cable programming services; premium movie and pay-per-view channels; and sports programming services to homes and businesses nationwide. TCI-C controls a number of subsidiaries that together provide cable television service to approximately 12.7 million customers, passing approximately 20.9 million homes. TCI-C also holds minority interests in, or has joint ventures with, other cable television operators. These operators collectively provide cable television service to approximately 7.5 million additional customers, and pass approximately 13.2 million additional homes. In 1997, revenues from TCI-C's cable services operations totaled approximately $5.8 billion, which constituted 76% of TCI's total annual revenue. TCI's Liberty Media Group subsidiary is an investor in, and manager of, entities engaged in the production, acquisition, and distribution of entertainment and informational programming and software, including multimedia products. The various business interests fall into four categories: movie services; general entertainment and information services; electronic retailing (which includes direct marketing, advertising sales relating to programming services, infomercials, and transaction processing); and sports programming services. TCI's third subsidiary is TCI Ventures Group, a wholly owned subsidiary that is composed of an array of telecommunications investments. Through this business unit, TCI holds its non-cable, non-programming and international assets, including, of particular relevance to this proceeding, its investments in @Home and Sprint Corporation ("Sprint"). TCI Ventures Group holds a 39% equity interest and a 71% voting interest in @Home, which provides content-enriched, high-speed Internet services over cable television infrastructure. @Home began its commercial operation in September of 1996. Its primary offering allows residential subscribers to connect their personal computers via cable modems to their cable operator's hybrid fiber-coaxial cable ("HFC") network and receive data at higher speeds than are available with typical dial-up access services offered over standard analog lines of local exchange carriers. @Home transmits data between the cable plant and the public Internet using a proprietary backbone network that enhances the speed of transmission. @Home has reached affiliate agreements with 18 cable companies worldwide to deliver its high-speed Internet services. Considering other current and pending affiliations, @Home has potential access to more than 50 million homes, or approximately 50% of all homes passed by cable television plant in North America. As of December 31, 1998, @Home served more than 330,000 cable modem subscribers across North America. Through TCI Ventures Group, TCI currently holds approximately 23.8% of the equity and approximately 2.38% of the voting interest in a class of Sprint stock that tracks the value of Sprint's personal communications service operating group ("Sprint PCS tracking stock"). On August 31, 1998, after a public notice period, the Commission approved Sprint's unopposed application for re-organization, whereby Sprint issued shares of this newly-created Sprint PCS tracking stock to TCI in exchange for TCI's partnership interest. This re-organization includes an initial public offering of additional shares of the Sprint PCS tracking stock. 2 | P a g e Tele Communications Inc: Accelerating Digital Deployment Organizational Structure and Design Case study Tele Communications Inc: A Chronology 1956 Cattle-rancher Bob Magness builds cable television system in Memphis, Texas 1957 Expands system to Plainview, Texas 1957 AT&T sells Canadian Northern Electric (later Nortel) 1958 Magness sells Texas holdings 1958 Magness, Jack Gallivan, George Hatch and Brian Glasmann establish Western Microwave network in Montana 1962 Magness buys Collier Electric cable group 1968 Western Microwave merges with Community Television cable system and becomes American Tele- Communications, with Western Tele-Communications (WTCI) and Community Tele-Communications (CTCI) subsidiaries 1968 Parent company's name changed to Tele-Communications Inc.

INTRODUCTION In early 2006, Cablevision unveiled its plan to release a new Remote Digital Video Recorder System ("RS-DV-R").' This RS- DV-R system, provided by Cablevision to its current subscribers for an additional monthly fee, would enable these subscribers to down- load a "simple software upgrade" to add a recording function to their existing cable-boxes.2 This upgrade would permit users to record any live television program transmitted by Cablevision, and store a copy of that transmission on Cablevision's remote server.3 Because the copy is stored on Cablevision's remote server, the subscriber would not need to purchase any additional "Set-Top" box Digital Video Recorder equipment ("STS-DV-R") to make the recording,4 * Juris Doctor Candidate, May 2011, Touro College, Jacob D.
