To: Office ofthe Secretary Attn: Chief, Media Bureau
PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, on behalf of its subsidiaries and affiliates
("Comcast"), pursuant to Sections 76.7 and 76.907 of the Commission's rules, 1 requests that the
Commission find that Comcast faces "effective competition" in above-referenced Washington franchise areas (the "Franchise Areas").
The Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and the Commission's rules provide that cable television rates may be regulated only in the absence of effective competition?
Cable operators are entitled to demonstrate that effective competition exists on a franchise-by- franchise basis. 3 When a cable operator demonstrates that effective competition exists within a franchise area, cable rates in the affected area are no longer subject to regulation.4
1 47 C.F.R. §§ 76.7 and 76.907. 2 47 U.S.C. § 543(a)(2); 47 C.F.R. § 76.905(a). 3 47 C.F.R. § 76.907. 4 See Implementation ofSections of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, Rate Regulation, 8 FCC Red. 5631, 5664-5665 (1993) ("Rate Order").
DWT 20 191166v I 0 I 07080-000007 Under the "competing provider" test set forth in Section 623(1)(1)(B) ofthe Act and
Section 76.905(b)(2) of the Commission's rules (the "Competing Provider Test"), a cable system will be deemed subject to effective competition if:
(i) the franchise area is served by at least two unaffiliated multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs"), each of which offers comparable programming to at least 50 percent of the households in the franchise area; and
(ii) the number of households subscribing to multichannel video programming other than the largest MVPD exceeds 15 percent of the households in the franchise area. 5
As demonstrated below, the Competing Provider Test is satisfied in each of the Franchise
Areas - Aberdeen, Elma, Hoquiam, and Montesano -- because two unaffiliated MVPDs serve over 50 percent ofthe Franchise Areas' households with comparable programming and the reported penetration rate for DBS providers exceeds the 15 percent threshold in the Franchise
Areas.
I. THE COMPETING PROVIDER TEST IS SATISFIED IN THE FRANCHISE AREAS
The two prongs of the Competing Provider Test are straightforward and objective. Both prongs of this test clearly are satisfied in each of the Franchise Areas.
A. More Than Two Unaffiliated MVPDs Offer Programming Comparable to Comcast to Over 50 Percent of the Households in the Franchise Areas.
The first prong of the Competing Provider Test requires that a franchise area must be served by "at least two unaffiliated multichannel video programming distributors ... "6 This requirement is easily satisfied, because the two major direct broadcast satellite providers
5 47 U.S.C. § 543(1)(1)(B)(i) and (ii); 47 C.F.R. § 76.905(b)(2)(i) and (ii). 6 47 U.S.C. § 543(1)(1)(B)(i); 47 C.F.R. § 76.905(b)(2)(i). Section 602 ofthe Communications Act of 1934, as amended, defines "multichannel video programming distributors" to include cable operators, as well as DBS and MMDS providers. See 47 U.S.C. § 522(13).
2 DWT 20191166vl 0107080-000007 (DirecTV, Inc. and Dish Network, Corp.) ("DBS Providers") are unaffiliated with Comcast and
"offer" programming that is comparable to Comcast to more than 50 percent of the households in
Com cast's Franchise Areas.
Service of an MVPD will be deemed "offered" when it is both technically and actually
available. 7 The Commission has determined that DBS service is presumed to be "technically
available" throughout the country due to its nationwide satellite footprint. 8 Comcast's Franchise
Areas are well within the satellite footprint ofDirecTV and Dish Network. Thus, both DirecTV
and Dish Network are "technically available" in the Franchise Areas.
DBS service is presumed to be "actually available" if households in a franchise area are
made "reasonably aware" that the service is available.9 The Commission has stated that "a party may use evidence of penetration rates in the franchise area (the second prong of the competing provider test ... ) coupled with the ubiquity ofDBS services to show that consumers are

DirecTV and Dish Network are among the largest MVPDs in the nation. 11 With approximately
33.8 million subscribers nationwide, 12 c9mprising over 33 percent of all MVPD subscribers, 13
ubiquitous advertising, and the substantial DBS penetration figures in the Franchise Areas, it is clear that consumers in the Franchise Areas are "reasonably" aware of the availability ofDBS competitors. 14 Accordingly, both DirecTV and Dish Network are presumed to be "actually

Thus, the Commission has not required the production of advertising to demonstrate that households in the franchise area are "reasonably aware" of the availability of DBS service. See Bright House Networks, LLC Petition for Determination of Effective Competition (Lake Alfred and Dundee FL), 22 FCC Red. 4390, ~ 6 (2007) ("Over more than ten years, we have made hundreds of findings that households in particular franchise areas are reasonably aware that they may purchase DBS services based on localized evidence. These accumulated showings amount to substantial evidence that households in all franchise areas are reasonably aware that they may purchase DBS services. In at least one earlier reported decision, we found households in a franchise area to be reasonably aware that they may purchase DBS service solely based on evidence of DBS's nationwide growth and local subscriptions. without reference to adve11ising or other promotion.") (''Bright House Nenvorks- Florida"). 11 See Thirteenth Annual Assessment of the Status of Competition in the Market for the Delivery of Video Programming, MB Docket No. 06-189, FCC 07-206, ~ 76 (rel. Jan. 16, 2009). 12 See Press Release, DirecTV Inc., DirecTV Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Results (Feb. 16, 2012) (reporting that, as ofDecember 31,2011, DirecTV (US) had 19.9 million subscribers), available at http://investor.directv.com/releas detail.cfm?Relea eiD=649162; See Press Release, Dish Network, Dish Network Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2011 Financial Results (Feb. 23, 2012) (reporting that, as ofDecember 31, 2011, Dish Network had approximately 13.97 million subscribers), , available at http://press.dishnetwork.com/press reJeases/dish-network-reports-fourth-guarter-and-year-end-2-nasdag-dish-0855001 . 13 Georg Szalai, Pay TV Operators Added 300,000 Subscribers in Fourth Quarter, The Hollywood Reporter, March 19,2012 (citing SNL Kagan report of 100.31 million video subscribers by the end of 2011 ), available at http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/pay-tv operator ,.added- ubscribers-fourth-guarter- nl-kagan-showtim -starz-hbo-301624.

Franchise Areas.
The Competing Provider Test also requires that the programming offered by the
competing provider must be "comparable" to the programming offered by the cable operator. 15
The Commission's rules define comparable programming as "at least 12 channels of video
programming, including at least one channel ofnonbroadcast service programming."16 The
Commission has repeatedly recognized that the DBS Providers offer comparable programming under the Commission's Competing Provider Test. 17 Each of the DBS Providers offer well over
100 video channels, most of which are non-broadcast services. 18 And, as shown in the attached channel line-up, Comcast's programming service offerings in the Franchise Areas are substantially similar to the DBS Providers' programming services. 19
Based on the above facts, Com cast has satisfied the first prong of the Competing Provider
Test.
B. The Competing Providers Serve Greater Than 15 Percent of the Households In Comcast's Franchise Areas.
The second prong of the Competing Provider Test requires that the subscriber base of competing MVPDs, other than the largest MVPD, exceeds 15 percent of franchise area households.
15 See 47 U.S.C. § 543(1)(l)(B)(i); 47 C.F.R. § 76.905(b)(2)(i). 16 47 C.F.R. § 76.905(g). 17 See, e.g., Comcast Cablevision ofMaryland, Inc., Petitions for Determination ofEffective Competition (Charles County, MD), 19 FCC Red. 7130, ~ 4 (2004) ("We find that the programming ofDBS providers satisfies the Commission's program comparability criterion because DBS providers offer more than 12 channels of video programming, including more than one non-broadcast channel."). 18 See Channel Line-ups ofDirecTV and Dish Network, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 19 See Comcast Channel Line-up, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
5 DWT 20191166vl 0107080-000007 DBS Providers track their subscribers according to the zip codes where each subscriber resides, rather than by political jurisdiction. In this case, Comcast relied on ZIP+4 codes associated with each Franchise Area in order to determine the number ofDBS subscribers within the Franchise Area. The Commission has previously accepted ZIP+4 codes as "reasonable and sufficiently reliable for purposes of determining the presence of effective competition,"20 and stated its preference for this approach. 21
To determine the relevant ZIP+4 codes for the Franchise Areas, Comcast contacted
Media Business Corp. ("MBC," previously known as "SkyTrends"). MBC has developed a process to accurately identify the ZIP+4 codes that correspond with the political boundaries of a particular community. This process utilizes enhanced mapping software that correlates ZIP+4 codes with the U.S. Census Department's "block group" level households. The "block group" measurement is the most precise Census tool available to measure households within a very small geographical area. With this software, MBC was able to identify the ZIP+4 codes that lie within the Franchise Areas.22
Comcast next provided all of the ZIP+4 codes for the Franchise Areas to the Satellite
Broadcasting and Communication Association ("SBCA"). SBCA is the national trade association representing the two major DBS Providers, and it has assumed the responsibility for
20 See Cable One, Inc. Petition for Determination ofEffective Competition in Pocatello, Idaho, 18 FCC Red. 12792, ~ 8 (2003), quoting Falcon Cable Systems II, a California Limited Partnership, d/b/a Charter Communications Petition for Determination ofEffective Competition in Twelve Oregon Cities, 17 FCC Red. 4648 (2002). 21 See Public Notice, "Commission Announces New Standards for Showings of Effective Competition For Cable Service," 23 FCC Red. 12067 (2008). The Commission stopped short of requiring ZIP+4 evidence in effective competition cases. See Public Notice, "Commission Clarifies Standards for Evidence of Competing Provider Effective Competition for Cable Service," DA 09-1361,24 FCC Red. 8198 (2009). 22 See Letter from MBC (explaining ZIP+4 methodology), attached hereto as Exhibit 3.
6 DWT 20191166vl 0107080-000007 compiling subscribership data and responding to data requests from cable operators and franchising authorities engaged in effective competition proceedings. The DBS subscriber numbers reported in the attached Effective Competition Tracking Reports ("ECTR") from SBCA reflect the total DBS subscribers within the individual ZIP+4 codes associated with the Franchise
Areas. 23
Finally, Comcast compared the DBS subscribership figures reported by SBCA on a
ZIP+4 basis with its own subscribership, and was able to confirm that its own subscribership exceeded DBS subscribership in each of the four communities that qualify for effective competition under the Competing Provider Test- Aberdeen, Elma, Hoquiam, and Montesano.
Comcast is the largest MVPD in these Franchise Areas.
To determine whether DBS subscribership exceeds the statutorily mandated 15 percent threshold in the Franchise Areas, Comcast compared the competing providers' subscribership to the most recent U.S. Census occupied household unit figures for the communities.24 This comparison yields the penetration rate for DBS Providers in the Franchise Areas.
As detailed in Exhibit 6, the subscriber rate for the DBS Providers in the Franchise Areas exceeds the 15 percent threshold required under Section 623(1)(1)(B) ofthe Act. Accordingly,
Comcast meets the second prong of the Competing Provider Test.
Because Comcast meets both prongs of the Competing Provider Test in the Aberdeen,
Elma, Hoquiam, and Montesano Franchise Areas, it faces effective competition in these
Franchise Areas.
23 See Exhibit 4 (providing total ZIP+4-based DBS subscribership for the Franchise Areas, as well as all ZIP+4 data relied on in the Petition). 24 2010 Census Data household data figures are available at http://factfinder2.census.gov, the relevant pages of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 5.
7 DWT 20191166vl 0107080-000007 CONCLUSION
Comcast cable system is subject to effective competition in each of the Franchise Areas
under the Competing Provider Test. Based on the evidence presented herein, Comcast
respectfully requests that the Media Bureau issue an order acknowledging the presence of
effective competitio,il in each of the four Washington Franchise Areas as of the filing date of this
Petition.

Suite 800 Washington, DC 20006 To Whom It May Concern: Media Business Corporation ("MedlaBfz") utlllzes a mufti-step process to accurately Identify cable client franchise areas and associated ZIP and ZIP+4 Codes. {A ZIP+4 Coda Includes the five digits of the United States Postal Service ZIP Code, a hyphen, and four more digits that determine a more precise location than the ZIP Code.) Media Biz developed this methodology to address the potenUal shortcomings In utilizing 5-dfgit ZIP Code data for "Effective Competition" petitions. This basic methodology has been In place for several years and has been used successfully In many Effectlve Competltion cases at the FCC. Because ZIP Codes and municipal boundaries are created and managed by different government authorities, the boundaries of ZIP Codes and municipal boundaries often overlap. ZIP Codes frequently span between and beyond municipal boundaries. ZIP+4 Codes, however, usually reside In one and only one municipality. MedlaBiz uses Place, Minor Civil Division (MCD), and County boundaries from Dynamap®, a division of Pitney Bowes Business Insight, to determine municipal boundaries. Media Biz uses the Dynamap® ZIP+4 Centroids database, which contains ZIP+4 centroid correspondence for virtually all deliverable ZIP+4s, to ldenttfy ZIP+4 Codes within municipal boundaries, among the over 60 million ZIP+4s in all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico, based on current data from the USPS and the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and the Tele Atlas master street database. MedlaBiz then utilizes its ZIP+4 Code mapping to enable our cllents to obtain proper "Direct-to-Home" (DTH) subscriber counts for their respective franchise areas by tracking DTH subscribers at the ZIP+4 Code level. {Where MedlaBiz determines that a ZIP Code falls entlrely within a franchise area, however, It Is unnecessary to Identify DTH subscribers at the ZIP+4 Code level for that 5-dlgit ZIP Code. In these instances, MediaBiz identifies such 5-digft ZIP Codes and, accordingly, DTH subscribers are Identified by the 5-dlgit ZIP Code only. Only ZIP+4 Codes that meet specific criteria are Included In this report. The following criteria must be met: • The centroid of the ZIP+4 Coda Is within the franchise area; and • The USPS ZIP+4 Record Type (from Dynamap® ZIP+4 Centroids) Is either H -high-rise or S -street Our methodology has been used by many multiple system operators (MSOs) as part of their Effective Competition relief efforts, and we believe this methodology produces the most accurate and detaUed view of ZIP+4 data as it relates to cable franchise areas.
