aa• ^ca!! 0. p•a3er <br />a•esiaert <br />January 13, 1992 <br />Honorable Moses Carey, Jr. <br />Chairman <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Dear Chairman Carey: <br />ww•� <br />i i i r <br />Arlencar T e!ev,sc7 <br />919 82, --v-,21c <br />As Carolina Cable has already informed you, in order to complete the acquisition <br />of Carolina Cable's cable television system by ATC, the parties need the County's <br />assistance in avoiding a potential difficulty with the rules and regulations of the <br />Copyright Office. Under the Copyright Office's proposed rules, it plans to treat <br />"contiguous" cable systems under common ownership and control as a single unified <br />cable system for copyright purposes. Because ATC currently operates a cable system in <br />Alamance County, there is a danger that the Orange County system could be viewed as <br />" contiguous" with the Alamance County system. In order to avoid such a possibility, the <br />parties respectfully request that Orange County modify Carolina Cable's franchise for <br />Orange County to create a "buffer zone" between the two franchise areas. <br />We have enclosed proposed ordinances, maps and descriptions that we believe <br />could accomplish the parties objectives without any loss of cable television service (now <br />or in the future) by any residents of Orange County. We ask that you favorably <br />consider this request and look forward to explaining the benefits and improvements that <br />we plan to bring to the citizens of Orange County. <br />Sincerely, <br />Randall O. Fr r <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Geoffrey E. Gledhill, Esquire <br />Mr. Albert Kittrell <br />c..v can; encerterme� a ,. 'cr~a::ec = �e.c�s <br />
