On <br />October 4, 2002, the FCC revised the official inflation figure for the last two quarters of the 2002 <br />true-up period to 1.24%. Time Warner was not able to use this new value in its calculations for <br />the FCC1240 submitted October 1, because the FCC requires cable operators to use the "then <br />current" rate prior to the issuance of revised inflation figures. <br />Action Audits, LLC Cable Rate, Franchise Fee, Utili Tax Auditin & Telecommunication Administration <br />101 Pocono Lane, Cary, North Carolina 27513-5316 Voice # 919.467.5392 Fax # 919.460.6868 <br />
