APPENDIXD , ..... Concentration in the Market for Cable Television A market is considered concentrated when one finn, or a small number of finns, has a sufficient share of the market to exercise power over it. The prevailing measure of market concentration, and the one used by the Department ofJustice, is the Herfindahl­ Hirschman Index, or HHI. The HRI, which is calculated by summing the squares of the market shares of the finns in the market, reflects the market share distribution among all firms in the market, giving proportionately greater weight to the market shares ofthe larger finns. The Department of Justice considers the possibility of market power when the HRI reaches 1,000. 1 Current data on the market share of cable television multiple system operators (MSOs) show a market that is unconcentrated. Applying the HRI analysis to the top cable television MSOS2 results in an HHI of725.41, below the Department ofJustice's threshold of 1,000.

    tt 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.
