THE CITY OF GENEVA, ILLINOIS BUSINESS PLAN

FOR THE PROVISIONING OF BROADBAND SERVICES SEPTEMBER 20, 2002

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. The Role of Municipalities and the Broadband Initiative

1. Improve and Maintain Local Infrastructure - In the past, one of

the fundamental missions of municipal entities such as the City of Geneva, Illinois (the “City”) and the City of Geneva has been to improve and maintain local infrastructure to facilitate the provisioning of utility services in order to promote the quality of life for local citizens in and around the City of Geneva (the “Geneva Service Area”). While the passage of years can sometimes cause many daily conveniences to be taken for granted, municipal officials have often determined that the capitalization and deployment or construction of infrastructure was in the best interest of the community and its citizens. In addition to the capitalization of utility infrastructures, municipal officials have previously elected to construct and maintain such infrastructure as roads, bridges, sidewalks, and more recently, fiber optic based broadband telecommunications systems. In each case, decisions to provide these various components of local infrastructure have been generally based upon the desire to serve a public need and/or demand.

2. The Broadband Business Plan - UTI has provided this

independent Broadband Business Plan to assist the City in the process of converting the advent of technological advancements and regulatory freedoms into financially sound decisions and policies designed to enhance the local infrastructure and to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Geneva. To enable the City to accomplish its objectives while protecting its core services, UTI has provided the information necessary to support the deployment of a technically advanced fiber optic based broadband network (the “Broadband Network”) that is cost effective and capable of satisfying market demand.

This Broadband Business Plan incorporates information associated with facility-based service provisioning opportunities. The primary objective of the Broadband Business Plan is to provide the City with information to allow decisions to be made associated with pursuing existing and potential broadband services opportunities through a defined course of action and implementation plan.

The deregulation of the telecommunications industry presents new challenges and opportunities as municipal entities like the City seek to define and achieve strategic objectives in evolving competitive markets. This Broadband Business Plan represents the first step in the progressive efforts undertaken by the City to enhance the local infrastructure in the Geneva Service Area to allow for the provisioning of advanced video, data, and telecommunications service offerings to residential and commercial consumers.

B. The Municipal Broadband Services Opportunity

1. The Commercial Broadband Services Opportunity - The City

has the opportunity to achieve the long-term objectives of enhancing the local infrastructure, keeping service fees reinvested locally, revenue diversification, and improving the quality of life for local residents in the Geneva Service Area through developing a commercial broadband service offering for residential and commercial customers. To allow these services to be provided, the City may elect to construct a state-of-the-art fiber optic based Broadband Network with a capable of delivering advanced video, telephone, Internet, and data services to residents of the Geneva Service Area.

2. Industrial Growth Opportunity - As another primary justification

for deploying a broadband infrastructure, the City must seek to promote commerce and local industrial growth through providing existing local businesses and businesses seeking to expand or locate in the Geneva Service Area with access to an enhanced fiber optic based broadband infrastructure.

3. Internal Operations and Utility Enhancement Opportunity - While providing advanced video, data, and telecommunications services to consumers, the City will also improve the cost effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity of existing municipal operations through supporting internal needs such as those associated with the operation of existing utilities.

4. The Educational Opportunity - Another of the City’ initial

justifications for deploying a broadband infrastructure should be founded upon the need to develop and promote new local educational opportunities through the enhancement of communications capabilities between educational facilities in the Geneva Service area and between those facilities and available global educational resources.

C. Broadband Services - The Broadband Business Plan prepared by

United Telesystems Inc. (“UTI”) for the City anticipates that the City will capitalize, construct, and operate a 113 mile all optical fiber-to-the-home/fiber-to-the-business (“FTTH/FTTB”) Broadband Network as follows over a period of twenty-four (24) months and will provide the following services in and around Geneva, Illinois (the “Geneva Service Area”):

Broadband Video Services (Cable Television) High Speed Broadband Internet Access Competitive Local Exchange Carrier Telephone Service Long Distance Telephone Service Local & Wide Area Telecommunications Networking Fiber Optic Transport Utility Management

D. Broadband Network Architecture – In this the City Broadband

Business Plan, UTI has incorporated a FTTH/FTTB Broadband Network architecture option. The FTTH/FTTB architecture refers to an all-optic network with fiber optic cable deployed from the headend/central office facility directly to the residential and commercial customer premise. The FTTH/FTTB architecture utilizes an all fiber design from the headend/central office to the customer premise. The increased capital cost of developing a FTTH/FTTB network over a deep fiber-coaxial FTTC/FTTB network may be offset

United Telesystems Inc.

by the operating and service benefits derived from the architecture through improved signal quality, capacity, reliability, scalability, interactivity, flexibility, potentially lower operating costs, and the extended operational life of the infrastructure. The FTTH/FTTB approach eliminates the need for active electronics and network power supplies. Should the City adopt a FTTH/FTTB architecture, it will be necessary to acknowledge a certain element of vendor and technology related risks associated with the decision as there have been a limited number of FTTH/FTTB systems developed, most of which have been developed in relatively small service, and the vendors supporting most of these projects are new entrants to the market place. The following diagram sets forth the proposed FTTH/FTTB architecture:

E. Project Services Summary - The financial projections in the City Broadband Business Plan anticipates that the City will provide the aforementioned services to customers over a period of twenty-four (24) months and includes the following residential and commercial customer assumptions:

In addition to Knology, Inc., several UTI municipal clients have launched competitive broadband systems in the Southeastern US since 1996. To date, broadband networks developed by UTI municipal clients have achieved higher service penetration levels than UTI private clients and other entities providing similar competitive services. UTI feels that this can be primarily attributed to market presence of the municipal service providers and the impact of the perception of community ownership of the broadband networks among potential customers. The following sets forth information available on two UTI municipal clients that have launched competitive broadband systems in the Southeastern US. The City of Acworth broadband network was launched in February of 2001 and the Scottsboro Electric Power Board broadband network was launched in December of 1998.

CITY OF GENEVA, ILLINOIS BROADBAND NETWORK INITIATIVE BROADBAND INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

SEPTEMBER 20, 2002 I. BROADBAND INITIATIVE OVERVIEW A. Market Opportunity 1. General Following, is an industry overview associated with and independent broadband telecommunications system feasibility study (the “Feasibility Study” or “Broadband Business Plan”) prepared by United Telesystems, Inc. (“UTI”) which assesses and evaluates opportunities available to the City of Geneva (“the City”) associated with the construction and operation of a broadband telecommunications network (the “Network” or the “Broadband Network”) in and around the City of Geneva (the “Service Area”). The Feasibility Study evaluates opportunities associated with the provisioning of video, data, telecommunications, and energy management services by the city to residential and commercial customers. 2. Current Services Available Through the proposed Broadband Network, existing technology will potentially allow the City to economically provide the following:

Broadband Video Services (Cable Television) Local Area Telecommunications Networking Wide Area Telecommunications Networking Competitive Local Exchange Carrier Telephone Service Fiber Optic Transport Long Distance Telephone Service High Speed Broadband Internet Access Utility Management Point to Point

Confidential Page 1. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

3. New Service Offering & Technology The Broadband Network, as proposed, is capable of delivering large amounts of analog and digital information from point to point. The limiting factor associated with any and all service offerings is only attributable to the capability of end user components and economic feasibility. The proposed Broadband Network will provide a platform which will accommodate new developments in broadband and telecommunications technology, potentially allowing the city to provide such things as interactive video services and utility enhancements such as remote meter reading, outage detection and appliance monitoring. Broadband Network technology will also allow users to access the Internet and Internet-related services at speeds significantly higher than allowed by traditional narrowband modems. At present, Internet users typically connect at speeds of less than 56kbps. Broadband Network technology allows users to access the Internet at speeds that range from fifty to several hundred times faster than typical dial-up speeds. This increased speed will provide consumers with a range of enhanced services, including streaming video and telephony services. Analysts predict that Broadband Network technologies will produce applications that will change the way consumers communicate, shop, educate and entertain. By the year 2008, the number of households that will have access to a broadband network is predicted to reach 78 million. 4. The Broadband Service Opportunity a. Internal Justification One of the City’s initial justifications for deploying a broadband infrastructure should be founded upon the need to enhance local educational communications capabilities and to support internal needs such as those associated with the operation of existing utilities. b. Industrial Growth Justification As a second justification, the City must seek to promote local industrial growth through providing new businesses seeking to expand or locate in the area with access to an enhanced telecommunications infrastructure.

Confidential Page 2. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

c. Commercial Justification The City has the opportunity to achieve long-term objectives through developing commercial broadband service offerings. To allow these services to be provided, the City may elect to construct a state-of-the-art Broadband Network with a fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) and fiber-to-the-business (“FTTB”) architecture capable of delivering advanced video services, telephone services, and high-speed data services to residents of the community. While providing advanced video, data and telecommunications services to consumers, the City will also improve the cost effectiveness, efficiency and productivity of existing internal operations. 5. An Assessment of the Municipal Role In the past, one of the fundamental missions of municipal entities, such as the City of Geneva, has been to improve and maintain local infrastructure to facilitate the provisioning of utility services in order to promote the City and to enhance the quality of life for local citizens. While the passage of years can sometimes cause many daily conveniences to be taken for granted, municipal officials have often determined that the capitalization and deployment or construction of infrastructure was in the best interest of the community and its operations. In addition, municipal officials have previously elected to construct and maintain such infrastructure as roads, bridges, sidewalks, electric, water and sewer systems, and more recently, broadband telecommunications systems. In each case, decisions to provide these various components of local infrastructure have been generally based upon the desire to serve a public need and/or demand. UTI has provided this independent Feasibility Study to assist the City in the process of converting the advent of technological advancements and regulatory freedoms into financially sound decisions and policies designed to enhance the local infrastructure and to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Geneva. To enable the City to accomplish its objectives while protecting its core services, UTI has provided the information necessary to support the deployment of a technically advanced Network that is cost effective and capable of satisfying market demand. This Feasibility Study incorporates information associated with facility-based service provisioning opportunities. The primary objective of the Feasibility Study is to provide the City with information to allow decisions to be made associated with pursuing existing and potential associated opportunities through a defined course of action and implementation plan.

The deregulation of the telecommunications industry presents new challenges and opportunities as municipalities seek to define and achieve strategic objectives in changing competitive markets. This Feasibility Study represents the first step in the progressive efforts undertaken by the City to enhance the local infrastructure to allow for the provisioning of advanced video and telecommunications service offerings to consumers. 6. Broadband Services Overview The 1984 Cable Act (the “1984 Act”) effectively deregulated the cable television industry, limiting a municipalities’ ability to potentially use rate increase requests to gain such things as increases in channel capacities, improvements in service and infrastructure upgrades. While the 1984 Act may have resulted in the addition of new programming services, it also fostered significant rate increases and numerous highly leveraged financial transactions as system values increased. The dramatic increase in speculation in cable television properties caused acquisitions and consolidations in the industry to accelerate at a rapid pace, thus increasing the debt burden on many systems. The Cable Television Consumer Protection Act of 1992 (the “1992 Act”) re-regulated certain aspects of the industry, most notably, rates charged for basic and standard service programming tiers. Under the 1992 Act, the regulation of rate increases, other than those associated with the basic tier of services, came under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). Therefore, municipalities no longer have any significant direct regulatory authority over cable television providers, outside of those typically associated with the renewal and enforcement of franchise agreements. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“The 1996 Act”) has effectively deregulated cable television operators serving smaller markets and deregulated the entire cable television industry in March of 1999. Like many of the major telecommunications providers, most cable television operators in secondary markets have generally elected not to capitalize infrastructure improvements. Coupled often with a pattern of aggressive rate increases, a high level of customer dissatisfaction with cable television service providers remains prevalent throughout the U.S. The market and demand for telecommunication related services is growing at a tremendous pace as the United States continues to evolves from a manufactured based

Confidential Page 4. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

economy into a service-based economy. Competition is increasing across all telecommunications business sectors. Since the divestiture of AT&T in 1984, numerous opportunities associated with the provisioning of local and long distance telephone service have been created. Regional Bell Operating Companies (“RBOCs”) like Ameritech are moving rapidly into various new telecommunications sectors. At present, Ameritech is generally focusing capital resources and efforts in their largest markets, pursuing international opportunities and seeking entry into the long distance business. Broadband video service providers are also upgrading their networks in the larger markets to provide enhanced video services, as well as Internet access and telephony service, to their established customer base. Many electric utility companies are also currently identifying and pursuing telecommunications opportunities. In many cases, the entry into new “non core” businesses by electric utility companies is designed to develop new sources of revenues while serving to enhance relationships with existing customers in anticipation of the pending deregulation of the industry. Several municipalities have been operating communications infrastructures for many years. At present, 300 municipalities throughout the U.S. are either actively constructing broadband telecommunications infrastructures or are engaged in the planning stages. Municipalities are motivated by the failure of existing service providers to offer adequate service at reasonable prices along with the lack of reinvestment in infrastructures and new technology. It is likely that many of these secondary communities may not see significant capital investment by private industry into their local infrastructures in the near future. Many community leaders feel that it is imperative to the growth and stability of secondary cities and towns to have access to a technically advanced broadband telecommunications infrastructure. Therefore, many municipalities are electing to construct and operate their own infrastructure to meet the needs of their communities. Without pursuing similar initiatives, it is likely that the City may not have access to a comparable level of new telecommunications technology and associated services for many years to come. In addition, telecommunications service providers often seek to form alliances and to expand their relationships with municipalities beyond rights-of-way and facilities based arrangements to leverage customer relationships into new distribution channels for providing communications services. Through forming strategic alliances, the City could possibly benefit from established telecommunications service offerings

Confidential Page 5. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

and existing support infrastructures to provide services while increasing ties with consumers and facilitating revenue diversification. The City will have a unique advantage in providing these services in the community. One key advantage is that the Network would actually be “community owned.” The City has an established relationship with their customers through the provisioning of utility services and also owns the right-of-ways in the community. In addition, the City has real estate, office facilities, warehousing, and personnel that could be utilized in the operations of the Broadband Network. B. Capital Budget

As part of the Feasibility Study, UTI utilizes a 350 page proprietary Feasibility Study model to develop a detailed capital and operating budget, including projected capital costs, revenues and expenses, associated with the provisioning of the Services set forth herein to residential and commercial consumers. The Feasibility Study capital and operating budget includes:

1. All labor, materials, and equipment capital costs associated with the

deployment of the Network based upon the level of service to be provided, predicated upon an overall assessment of the Geneva Service Area.

2. Revenue projections based upon recommended service offerings and

proposed rates.

3. An operating budget including all marketing expenses, technical expenses, general and administrative expenses, and service related recurring costs.

4. UTI has provided financial projections, which assume capitalization

and operation of the Network by the City. The projected capital cost of the City of Geneva Broadband Network, which consists of 113.24 miles of broadband plant placed in service in Geneva passing 9,999 serviceable residential and commercial customers is $18,209,243. The financial projections anticipate the issuance of revenue bonds by the City with a general obligation pledge from the City to capitalize the infrastructure and two (2) years of interest. Terms and interest rates used are derived from debt service schedules from

bond issues recently closed or pending for similar projects.

II. THE VIDEO SERVICES INDUSTRY

A. General Assessment Following, is an assessment of the video services industry. Some of the information in this section and others to follow was included in various FCC reports assessing the multichannel video services market and video service providers. For purposes of analysis, competition in the delivery of video services involves local markets in which consumers can choose among particular multichannel or other video programming distribution services. The products that are sold in these markets consist of bundles of attributes: antenna service, basic or optional tiers or packages of video programming channels, premium per-channel charge services, pay-per-view channels, and others. Providers of these services increasingly will participate in a broader telecommunications market that includes both video and non-video products as new communications services are added to their offerings. National, regional, and local markets are also involved in the video programming purchasing activities of these video providers.

In recent years, consolidation within the cable industry maintained a dramatic pace as cable operators acquired and traded systems. The seven largest operators now serve almost 90% of all U.S. cable subscribers. The national concentration of the subscriber base maintained by traditional cable television operators, however, has declined since 1998 when compared to the overall subscriber base including all multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”). Among the MVPD systems or techniques discussed are direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) services and home satellite dishes (“HSDs”), wireless cable systems using frequencies in the multichannel multipoint distribution service (“MMDS”), private cable or satellite master antenna television (“SMATV”) systems as well as broadcast television service. DBS operators DirecTV and EchoStar or DISH rank among the ten largest MVPDs in terms of nationwide subscribership along with eight cable multiple system operators (“MSOs”). As a result of system acquisitions and trades, cable MSOs have continued to increase the extent to which their systems form regional clusters. Currently, 40.4 million of the nation’s cable subscribers are served by systems that are included in regional clusters. By clustering their systems, cable operators hope to achieve efficiencies in existing operations and to facilitate the provisioning of new services such as telephony.

The 1996 Act removed barriers to local exchange carrier (“LEC”) entry into

the video marketplace to facilitate competition between incumbent cable operators

Confidential Page 8. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

and telephone companies. At the time of the 1996 Act, it was expected that LECs would compete in the video delivery market and that cable operators would provide local telephone exchange service. Previously, there had been an increase in the amount of video programming provided to consumers by telephone companies, although the expected technological convergence that would permit use of telephone facilities for video service had not yet occurred. As of 2001, incumbent local exchange carriers (“ILECs”) have largely exited the video business, instead mainly reselling DBS service. A few smaller LECs offer, or are preparing to offer, MVPD service over existing telephone lines. Some competitive local exchange carriers (“CLECs”) continue to pursue MVPD entry and competition. Alternatively, several cable MSOs offer telephone service. Circuit-switched telephony is still the only type of commercially deployed cable telephony, but trials continue for cable-delivered Internet Protocol (“IP”) telephony. MSOs, such as Cox and AT&T, continue to deploy circuit-switched cable telephony. Others, like Cablevision and Comcast, continue to offer cable telephony where it has already been deployed, but generally are waiting for IP technology to become widely available before accelerating their rollout of telephone service. AT&T, AOL Time Warner, Comcast, and Charter currently are testing IP telephony

The total number of subscribers to both cable and non-cable MVPDs

continues to increase. A total of 88.3 million households subscribe to multichannel video programming services as of 2001, up 4.6 percent over the 84.4 million households subscribing to MVPDs in 2000. This subscriber growth accompanied a 2.7 percentage point increase in MVPDs’ penetration of television households to 86.4 percent as of 2001. The number of cable subscribers continued to grow, reaching almost 69 million as of 2001, up about 1.9 percent from the 67.7 million cable subscribers in 2000. The total number of non-cable MVPD subscribers grew from 16.7 million as of 2000 to 19.3 million as of 2001, an increase of more than 15 percent.

Consolidations within the cable industry continue as cable operators acquire

and trade systems. The ten largest operators now serve close to 87 percent of all U.S. cable subscribers. In terms of one traditional economic measure, national concentration among the top MVPDs has decreased since last year as the largest MSOs have become more equal in size, and it remains below the levels reported in earlier years. DBS operators DirecTV and EchoStar rank among the ten largest MVPDs in terms of nationwide subscribership along with eight cable multiple system operators (“MSOs”). As a result of acquisitions and trades, cable MSOs have continued to increase the extent to which their systems form regional clusters

Confidential Page 9. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

whereby the largest MSOs concentrate their operations in specific geographic areas. Currently, close to 55 million of the nation’s cable subscribers are served by systems that are included in regional clusters. By clustering their systems, cable operators may be able to achieve efficiencies that facilitate the provision of cable and other services, such as telephony.

Cable operators and other MVPDs continue to develop and deploy advanced

technologies, especially digital compression techniques, to increase capacity and enhance the capabilities of their transmission platforms. These technologies allow MVPDs to deliver additional video options and other services (e.g., data access, telephony, and interactive services) to subscribers. MVPDs are beginning to develop and deploy interactive television (“ITV”) services. In particular, this year, cable operators and other MVPDs have devoted most of their attention to the development of video-on-demand services.

Since 2000, there have been a number of developments regarding navigation

devices and cable modems used to access a wide range of services offered by MVPDs. Most notably, cable operators are favoring less powerful and less expensive set-top boxes. It is unclear how these modified plans will affect advance service offerings. CableLabs is continuing its efforts to develop next generation navigation devices with its initiative for the OpenCable Application Platform (“OCAP”) or “middleware” specification. The Consumer Electronics Association maintains that until this software standard is complete, manufacturers will not be able to build advanced set-top boxes for a retail market. In another effort intended to facilitate retail availability of set-top boxes, cable operators announced an initiative to encourage their set-top box suppliers to make their digital set-top boxes with embedded security available at retail.

The growth of non-cable MVPD subscribers continues to be primarily due to

the growth of DBS. DBS appears to attract former cable subscribers and consumers not previously subscribing to an MVPD. The continued growth of DBS is, in part, attributable to the authority granted to DBS operators to distribute local broadcast television stations in their local markets by the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 (“SHVIA”). Between 2000 and 2001, the number of DBS subscribers grew from almost 13 million households to about 16 million households, which is nearly two and a half times the cable subscriber growth rate. DBS subscribers now represent 18.2 percent of all MVPD subscribers. Over the last year, the number of subscribers to, and market shares of, MMDS, SMATV, and OVS have remained relatively stable. However, the number of HSD subscribers continues to decline.

Confidential Page 10. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, between 2000 and 2001, cable

prices rose 4.24 percent compared to a 3.25 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), which measures general price changes. Concurrently with these rate increases, capital expenditures for the upgrading of cable facilities increased, the number of video and non-video services offered increased, and programming costs increased. It is important to note that Cable operators’ pricing decisions may be affected by direct competition. Available evidence indicates that when an incumbent cable operator faces “effective competition,” as defined by the Communications Act, it responds in a variety of ways, including lowering prices or adding channels without changing the monthly rate, as well as improving customer service and adding new services such as interactive programming.

The most significant convergence of service offerings continues to be the

pairing of Internet service with other service offerings. There is evidence that a wide variety of companies throughout the communications sector are providing multiple services, including data access. Cable operators continue to expand the broadband infrastructure that permits them to offer high-speed Internet access. The most popular way to access the Internet over cable is still through the use of a cable modem and personal computer, though a small number of users continue to access the Internet through their television and a specially designed set-top box, rather than the personal computer. Virtually all of the major MSOs offer Internet access via cable modems in portions of their service areas. Like cable, the DBS industry is developing ways to bring advanced services to their customers. For example, DirecTV currently offers a satellite-delivered high-speed Internet access service with a telephone return path called DirecPC. EchoStar now offers its subscribers a similar service, called Starband, in cooperation with a subsidiary of Gilat. Many SMATV operators offer local and long distance telephone service, and Internet access along with video service. In addition, digital technology makes it possible for MMDS operators, who provide video service in limited areas, to offer two-way services, such as high-speed Internet service and telephony. Broadband service providers are building advanced systems specifically to offer a bundle of services, including video, voice, and high-speed Internet access.

The number of satellite-delivered programming networks has increased by 13,

from 281 in 2000 to 294 in 2001. Vertical integration of national programming services between cable operators and programmers remained at 35 percent after several years of decline. Although AT&T spun off its Liberty Media programming interests, Liberty Media is still included in this percentage since it owns several cable

Confidential Page 11. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

systems in Puerto Rico. In 2001, four of the top seven cable MSOs held ownership interests in satellite-delivered programming services. Sports programming warrants special attention because of its widespread appeal and strategic significance for MVPDs. Many of the total of 80 regional networks, 29 of which are sports channels, are owned at least in part by MSOs. There are also 29 regional and local news networks that compete with local broadcast stations and national cable networks.

The program access rules adopted pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act were

designed to ensure that other MVPDs can access vertically-integrated satellite delivered programming on non-discriminatory terms. The terrestrial distribution of programming, including in particular regional sports programming, could have an impact on the ability of alternative MVPDs to compete in the video marketplace. Non-cable MVPDs continue to report that regulatory and other barriers to entry limit their ability to compete with incumbent cable operators. Non-cable MVPDs continue to experience some difficulties in obtaining programming from vertically integrated cable programmers and from unaffiliated programmers which continue to make exclusive agreements with cable operators. In MDUs, potential entry may be discouraged or limited because an incumbent video programming distributor has a long-term and/or exclusive contract. In addition, non-cable MVPDs report problems obtaining franchises from local governments and difficulties in gaining access to utility poles needed to build out their systems.

B. The Cable Television Industry The cable industry has continued to grow in terms of homes passed, basic

cable subscribership, premium service subscriptions, basic cable viewership, and channel capacity. The number of U.S. homes with at least one television ("TV households") was reported as 100.8 million during the 1999-2000 television season. During the 2000-2001 television season the number of TV households was reported as 102.2 million, an increase of 1.4 percent. The number of homes passed by cable was approximately 96.6 million at the end of 1999, 103.2 million at the end of 2000, and by the end of June 2001 was estimated to be 104 million. The most widely used industry measurement of cable availability, however, is the number of homes passed expressed as a percentage of TV households. Based on data from Paul Kagan Associates, homes passed as a percentage of TV households was estimated to be 97.1 percent as of June 2001.

Basic cable penetration, the ratio of the number of cable subscribers to the

total number of households passed by the system, has declined slightly between 2000

United Telesystems, Inc.

and 2001. Deployment of advanced broadband service offerings, however, continued during the same period. These services include offerings of digital video, Internet access through cable, interactive cable, and facilities-based broadband telephony. Cable television subscribership grew from 67.3 million subscribers at the end of 1999 to 68.5 million subscribers at the end of 2000, an increase of 1.8 percent. It continued to grow to an estimated 69 million subscribers by June 2001, a six month increase of approximately 0.7 percent. Cable penetration declined between 1999 and 2000, decreasing from 69.7 percent at the end of 1999 to 66.4 percent at the end of 2000, and 66.3 percent by June 2001. The percentage of TV households subscribing to cable also decreased over the last year, declining from 67.3 percent in 1999 to 64.4 percent of all TV households by the end of 2000 and 2001. The number of homes subscribing to one or more premium cable services increased from 35.5 million homes at the end of 1999 to 36.8 million homes at the end of 2000, an increase of 3.7 percent. In 2001, premium cable subscribers increased again, reaching 37.2 estimated subscribers, a six-month increase of about one percent. The number of premium services to which homes are subscribing (known as "premium units") increased 4.9 percent by the end of 2000 to 55.6 units and by June 2001, to 56.4 units.

In 2000, the cable industry spent a total of $15.5 billion on the construction of

new plant, upgrades, rebuilds, new equipment, and maintenance of new and existing equipment. This represents a 45.9 percent increase over the $10.6 billion spent in 1999. Operators spent an estimated $14.7 billion in 2001, a decrease of 5.2 percent over 2000. Of the $14.7 billion to be spent industry-wide, approximately $850 million will be spent on new builds, $2.4 billion on rebuilds, $4.4 billion on upgrades, $4.4 billion on equipment and $2.6 billion on maintenance. A total of 48.8 million subscribers, or approximately 87 percent of all subscribers served by cable MSOs are served by systems that provided bandwidth of 550 MHz or higher, and more than 76 percent are served by systems that provided bandwidth of 750 MHz or higher. Cable operators have allocated this bandwidth in a variety of ways, using a portion of this bandwidth for the provision of analog video, and a portion for the provision of digital video, with the remainder allocated for services such as Internet access and telephony. For example, systems with 750 MHz system capacity on average allocated 478 MHz or approximately 80 channels to analog video. Also, on average, 750 MHz systems allocated 140 MHz for downstream digital video, which may yield a range of channels, depending on the modulation technique and compression ratio employed.

Viewership shares of non-premium cable networks have continued to grow

Confidential Page 13. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

over the past decade, while viewership shares of broadcast television stations have steadily declined. This trend continues. Audience share statistics for Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day, show that non-premium cable audience shares rose 5.7 percent from an average 45.5 share between 1999 through 2000, to an average 48.1 share between 2000 and 2001. Broadcast television audience shares decreased 4.7 percent from an average 59.6 share from July 1999 through June 2000, to an average 56.8 share between 2000 and 2001.

Although the number of cable networks, on average, increased in 2000,

several categories of networks decreased. For example, in 2000, the number of non-premium cable networks decreased from 147 to 130, an 11.6 percent decline. The number of premium networks also decreased during 2000, from 43 at year-end 1999 to 40 at year-end 2000. These decreases were coordinated to make room for the addition of digital tier channels for which there were, on average, none recorded in 1999, but 39 reported for 2000. The number of pay-per-view (“PPV”) services increased 4.8 percent in 2000 from 9 to 11 networks.

MSOs continue to spend substantially on maintenance, upgrades, rebuilds, and

new services. In the case of Time Warner, AT&T, Comcast, and Cox, some or all of the expenditures in 2000 and 2001 were associated with commitments made by those MSOs pursuant to social contracts with the FCC. As of 2001, AOL Time Warner spent $2.2 billion by year-end. Comcast reported cable-related capital expenditures of $1.2 billion in 2000, and is expected to spend approximately $1.8 billion by the end of 2001. AT&T’s broadband unit reported capital expenditures of $4.2 billion in 2000, of which approximately $1.6 billion were related to the launch of new services and $1.3 billion for plant upgrades. AT&T Broadband spent $3.6 billion in capital in 2001, with the majority focused on providing advanced services and plant upgrades. Adelphia reported capital expenditures of approximately $1.5 billion in 2000. By year-end 2001, Adelphia spent a total of $2 billion. Cox reported total capital spending of $2.2 billion in 2000. By year-end 2001, Cox spent a total of $2 billion. Cablevision reported capital expenditures of about $912 million in 2000 and spent $1.1 billion in 2001. Charter reported cable-related capital expenditures of almost $2.83 billion in 2000, and spent approximately $2.9 billion during 2001.

Advanced services continue to be deployed at a rapid pace. With most

systems able to deliver digital video, and many systems able to deliver cable modem and/or cable telephone service, MSOs are beginning to experiment with the deployment of other advanced service offerings such as video-on-demand (“VOD”) and Internet protocol (“IP”) telephony over cable systems.

Confidential Page 14. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Most major cable operators currently offer a selection of digital video

packages offered on the expanded capacity of cable systems that have converted to digital. The basic digital tier typically includes about 40 additional channels of audio and video. In addition, some MSOs have chosen to offer digital tiers of different genres, such as family, sports, or movie channels. Subscriber reception of digital video requires a set-top device to decompress and decode incoming digital signals and to translate the signals into the signals used by current television sets. While its primary purpose is to convert digital signals to analog form, these digital set-top boxes can allow cable operators to offer such additional services as PVRs, games, home networking, and e-commerce. The next generation set-top box were scheduled to be deployed in 2001, but its release has been delayed and is expected it will be deployed in 2002. Cable operators are still providing set-top boxes to the consumer for a monthly fee; though the FCC has undertaken a proceeding to facilitate retail availability of these devices to consumers. The FCC continues to evaluate its rules to determine whether changes are required to meet the statutory objective of creating a retail market for navigation devices. As of year-end 2000, it was estimated that there were more than 8.7 million digital video subscribers and reached 15.1 million by the end of 2001.

As of year-end 2000, Cox reported approximately 840,000 digital video

subscribers and as of 2001, Cox reported approximately 1.3 million subscribers. Comcast reported 2.2 million digital video subscribers in 2001. Adelphia had approximately 1.8 million digital video subscribers by year-end 2001. As of year-end 2000, AOL Time Warner had more than 1.7 million digital video subscribers and by year-end 2001, AOL Time Warner had more than three million digital video subscribers. AT&T reported 3.5 million digital video subscribers as of year-end 2001. Charter Communications provided digital video service to approximately two million subscribers by year-end 2001. Cablevision was only conducting technical trials of digital video service in early 2001, but it offered the service commercially in October 2001 and had 50,000 digital video subscribers by year-end 2001.

VOD services allow subscribers to view movies at any time or on a time-

staggered basis from a library of options. Many of the top MSOs are conducting trials of VOD or have moved to commercial offerings in some markets. VOD generated revenues of more than $65 million by year-end 2001 and is expected to generate revenues of $420 million in 2002. Cox continues to test VOD in its Hampton Roads Market, and has begun a market rollout in its San Diego markets. Comcast is currently conducting trials of VOD service in four markets and offered

Confidential Page 15. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

VOD to two million customers by year-end 2001. Adelphia has also been testing VOD in its Cleveland Heights, Ohio, market, covering an initial 1000 suburban Cleveland homes, with a planned commercial roll out to all its Cleveland area systems encompassing 284,000 cable subscribers. Charter has deployed VOD service in several of its major markets and by year-end 2001, it had VOD available to almost 40 percent of its customer base. Charter expects to complete VOD rollout in all its markets by year-end 2002. Time Warner Cable is continuing the trials it started last year in Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg, Florida, Honolulu, Hawaii; and Austin, Texas. The company is also conducting a subscription VOD trial in its Columbia, South Carolina, market featuring on-demand access to a library of HBO programming for an additional monthly fee of $3.95. AT&T is test marketing VOD is certain markets.

In October 2001, Comcast announced the launch of an HDTV service to more

than 1.3 million customers. The service will provide access to high-definition broadcasts of ABC, NBC, CBS, HBO, and Showtime. Since most commercial television sets do not have built-in HDTV tuners, Comcast will make set-top tuners available to customers. Comcast digital cable customers who have HDTV-ready sets will now be able to rent or purchase a set-top box similar to their current digital tuner, which will allow them to view all channels broadcast in high-definition. Time Warner has agreed to carry HDTV signals that will be broadcast by television stations owned and operated by the ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox networks, and also by nearly all public television stations, in Time Warner Cable’s operating areas. Time Warner Cable is also carrying the HDTV versions of HBO and Showtime in certain areas.

While dial-up Internet access remains the most popular way to access the

Internet, as of year-end 2000, 84.6 percent of all Internet households were accessing the Internet using dial-up modems. It is projected that telephone dial-up will remain the principal means of accessing the Internet until about 2004, when it is expected that only 44.4 percent of Internet households will use dial-up access, with the remaining 55.7 percent accessing the Internet through broadband facilities. While cable modem access is the primary means of accessing the Internet over broadband networks, cable’s share of the broadband Internet access market continues to decrease. DSL is the most significant broadband competitor to cable modem service. As of year-end 2000, cable modem service was available to 58.5 million homes and there were approximately 3.9 million cable subscribers, whereas DSL was available to 37.6 million homes and had approximately 1.9 million subscribers. As of year-end 2001, cable modem service was available to more than 81 million homes with

Confidential Page 16. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

more than 7.2 million subscribers, whereas DSL is expected to be available to as many as 51.5 million homes with approximately 4.3 million subscribers. Satellite and wireless technologies currently have eight percent of the market and are not expected to increase market share over the next several years.

CableLabs created the cable modem standard, DOCSIS (Data Over Cable

Service Interface Specification) in an effort to ensure the interoperability and retail sale of cable modem technologies. Equipment conforming to the DOCSIS standard is eligible to be CableLabs Certified. There are now 193 cable modems and 26 cable modem termination systems that have been certified by CableLabs on the DOCSIS 1.0 standard. As of 2001, certification for DOCSIS 1.1 had begun, and as of December 2001, seven companies had achieved certification for nine modems that comply with the DOCSIS 1.1 specification, and two more companies had gained qualification status for their DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem termination systems. In August 2001, CableLabs announced the establishment of DOCSIS 2.0, which incorporates standards to increase cable bandwidth for data transmissions without requiring any physical rebuilding of cable networks. Certification testing for DOCSIS 2.0 equipment is expected sometime next year.

Virtually all the major MSOs offer cable modem service in portions of their

nationwide service areas. As we reported last year, unlike high-speed access offered over the telephone network where the customer can select the Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) of his own choice, the cable ISP is selected by the cable provider and offered to customers in that cable operator’s individual regions. Most cable operators offer only one ISP to customers in a given system, although there has been a move recently within the industry to offer multiple ISPs to customers in a given cable system. For example, pursuant to its merger obligations with the Federal Trade Commission, AOL Time Warner has announced that, in addition to Road Runner, it will carry the AOL Internet service as well as unaffiliated ISPs Earthlink and Juno. In September 2001, AOL Time Warner started selling Earthlink high-speed access over its cable lines in Columbus, Ohio, and Syracuse, New York. AOL Time Warner plans to sell Earthlink high-speed service in numerous additional Time Warner markets by year-end. In addition, AT&T voluntarily conducted a technical and operational multiple-ISP trial in Boulder, Colorado, with plans for the commercial rollout of multiple-ISP service in several major cable markets by mid-2002.

Many MSOs have offered high-speed Internet access through Excite@Home,

which filed for bankruptcy in September 2001. As a result, in December 2001, AT&T terminated its @Home service and switched its subscribers to its own

Confidential Page 17. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

network, while other MSOs will continue to provide @Home service until February 28, 2002, when they will have transitioned their subscribers to other services. Cox has traditionally offered high-speed Internet access service either under the brand Cox@Home, Road Runner, or Cox Express. However, following the bankruptcy of Excite@Home, Cox announced that it plans to migrate all of its current high-speed cable modem subscribers to Cox’s proprietary high speed network. In addition, Cox has begun a technical trial with AOL and EarthLink in its El Dorado, Arkansas, system. Comcast also announced that it plans to migrate its current Comcast@Home subscribers to its own high-speed network. Additionally, in November 2000, Comcast announced that it will offer Juno Express in a trial to take place in its Philadelphia area system. In March 2001, Earthlink announced that it also would participate in that trial.

As of year-end 2000, Cox had approximately 480,000 high-speed data

subscribers, and 880,000 high-speed data subscribers as of the end 2001. Comcast had approximately 950,000 high-speed data subscribers by year-end 2001. AT&T had approximately 1.3 million broadband data subscribers by year-end 2001. Cablevision had 475,000 subscribers by year-end 2001. Charter had, by year-end 2001, 575,000 high-speed data subscribers. AOL Time Warner had 1.4 million subscribers to its own cable modem service by year-end 2001. Adelphia had 375,000 by year-end 2001.

A small portion of cable Internet access continues to be delivered through a

television receiver rather than a personal computer. These services typically do not provide complete access to the Internet, but provide such basic applications as e-mail, Web browsing, and “hyperlinking” technology. Many of these services are now considered by industry analysts to be interactive television (“ITV”) services, instead of Internet access services. Nationwide providers of such service include WebTV, Worldgate, and America Online which provides AOLTV. Wink Communications offers a similar product marketed primarily as an interactive tool for the enhancement of multichannel video programming. Charter is planning to roll out an interactive television service called Digeo Broadband which will provide interactive television and limited Internet functionality including e-mail, chat, and news and travel information.

Circuit-switched telephony still is the only type of commercially-deployed

cable telephony available, but trials continue for cable-delivered IP telephony. MSOs, such as Cox and AT&T, continue to deploy circuit-switched cable telephony, and others, such as Cablevision and Comcast, offer cable telephony where it has

Confidential Page 18. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

already been deployed. Several MSOs, including AT&T, AOLTW, Comcast, and Charter, are currently testing IP telephony, while Cox has plans for IP telephony trials in 2002. CableLabs is managing a project, called PacketCable, aimed at identifying, qualifying, and supporting products that support Internet over cable-based multimedia services such as IP telephony. In May 2000, CableLabs announced the release of the final feature set for PacketCable residential IP voice service. Following that, CableLabs released draft compliance test plans for PacketCable interface specifications. In May 2001, the Society for Cable Telecommunications Engineers (“SCTE”) and the European Telecom Standards Institute (“ETSI”) announced a set of new technical standards for offering IP telephony based on PacketCable technical standards established by CableLabs. In March 2001, leaders in the IP telephony market congregated for the World Telecom Policy Forum in Geneva, Switzerland to discuss the future regulatory environment in IP telephony.

As one of the first cable operators to offer a telephony product, Cox

Communications has long been regarded as the leader in cable telephony deployment. As of 2001, Cox provided facilities-based cable telephony services to approximately 344,000 subscribers nationwide. Cox reports an average 14.5 percent penetration in areas where its local telephone service is available. Cox expects to start testing IP telephone service in 2002. AT&T provided telephone services to more than 848,000 customers, as of June 30, 2001. In addition to circuit-switched technology, AT&T has also been pursuing Internet voice applications for cable telephony. In March 2000, AT&T purchased a 32 percent equity investment in Net2Phone giving it a 39 percent voting stake. In January 2001, it announced that it would expand its trial of local Internet telephone service to the Rochester, New York, area from its initial test site in Portland, Maine. The service, called Line Runner, is being marketed to Road Runner customers as a second line service only.

As a result of its acquisition of Jones Intercable in March 2000, Comcast now

has 15,000 cable telephony customers in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Comcast also offers telephony service in Florida and Michigan. Although Comcast is not interested in deploying circuit-switched service of its own, it has chosen to maintain the service where it has already been deployed. Cablevision offers limited facilities-based residential circuit-switched telephony in New York through its commercial telephone business, Lightpath. As of 2001, Lightpath reported almost 12,500 cable telephony customers, representing 8.2 percent penetration of the 153,000 homes marketed. Charter Communications is not presently pursuing commercial deployment of circuit-switched cable telephony. However, since

Confidential Page 19. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

December 1999, Charter has been testing IP telephony in several field trials. Over the last several years, cable operators have been upgrading their

systems so that they can offer digital video, access to the Internet, and telephone services. Over the past year, the MSOs have proven that they can successfully deploy multiple services, although some services, such as telephony, have not been as profitable as once expected. However, MSOs have found value in all their advanced services as a way to reduce basic cable video churn. For example, Adelphia is proposing to offer video-on-demand as an adjunct service to premium service subscribers, perhaps as a means of retaining premium subscriptions. In addition, several analysts note that cable telephony is valuable as a tool to increase video penetration and lower customer loss, especially to DBS. While individually some advanced services are not considered particularly lucrative to the MSOs, these services appear to be valuable as a package.

Cable operators incurred expenses of approximately $8.9 billion for producing

and acquiring programming in 2000. Approximately $6.4 billion of these expenses were license fees paid by the basic cable networks to obtain programming, and approximately $2.2 billion were license fees paid by premium cable services. Approximately $148 million of these expenses were for the production of original programming. Reported estimates indicate that these programming network expenses will total $9 billion by year-end 2001.

Data concerning cable industry revenue, cash flow, and stock prices indicate

that the cable industry growth slowed significantly in 2001. Relative to major market indices, cable stocks, as represented by the Kagan MSO Index, performed below average in 2000 and in 2001. Annual cable industry revenue grew 3.7 percent in 2000 over 1999, reaching $38.1 billion. By the end of 2000, revenue per subscriber grew almost two percent to $561.38 per subscriber per year, or $46.78 per subscriber per month. Analysts estimate that 2001 year-end total revenue will reach nearly $44 billion, an estimated 15.4 percent increase over 2000, and that revenue per subscriber per year will reach approximately $637.33, or $53.11 per subscriber per month.

When cable system revenue is classified by source, home shopping revenue

demonstrated the greatest percent increase in 2000. Commissions from home shopping increased nearly 30 percent in 2000, from $185 million in revenue in 1999 to $239 million in 2000. Advanced video services increased 3.7 percent in 2000 after having experienced 338 percent growth in 1999. Analysts expect advanced

Confidential Page 20. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

video services to grow nearly 175 percent in 2001 to reach just over $5.5 billion in revenues for the year. The PPV sector, typically volatile, demonstrated a 20 percent decline in revenues in 2000, but analysts expect PPV revenue to increase in 2001, growing an estimated 44 percent, to over $1 billion in annual revenue. Equipment and installation revenue declined over 13 percent in 2000, from $2.8 billion in annual revenue in 1999 to a little more than $2.4 billion in 2000. Industry analysts predict this revenue sector will increase slightly in 2001 to an estimated $2.5 billion. Annual revenue from local advertising increased from $2.7 billion in 1999 to $3.2 billion in 2000, a 20.7 percent increase, and analysts expect local advertising revenue to increase 13 percent over the next year to reach $3.7 billion in revenues by year-end 2001. Revenue from the basic service tier (“BST”) and from the cable programming service tier (“CPST”) combined grew from $23.1 billion in 1999 to $24.7 billion in 2000, a 6.9 percent increase, and analysts expect these revenues to increase to $26.1 billion by year-end 2001.

Cash flow is often used to assess the financial position of cable firms. Cash

flow is generally expressed as “EBITDA” (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). Industry-wide cash flow increased 6.5 percent between the end of 1999 and the end of 2000, from $15.6 billion to $16.6 billion. Cash flow will increase an estimated 10 percent, reaching $18.3 billion by year-end 2001. In 2000, the cable industry generated $244.64 in annual cash flow per subscriber, $10.76 higher per subscriber than the $233.88 per subscriber generated in 1999. In 2001, cash flow per subscriber per year increased by $20.17, reaching $264.81. The ratio of cash flow to revenue (“cash flow margin”) increased from 42.4 percent in 1999 to 43.6 percent in 2000 and decrease to 41.5 percent by year-end 2001.

After reaching its all-time high in January 2000, cable stock values, as

represented by the Kagan MSO Stock Index, declined throughout 2000 and 2001. Unlike past years, when there were many precipitating events causing the sell-off of cable stocks, cable’s current downturn seems to be more in step with the overall trends of the economy. But despite currently depressed stock prices, analysts are optimistic about cable’s future as the cable companies have proven that they can successfully roll out new services with the synergistic effects of bundling. Even in the face of competition from DBS and other providers, analysts are encouraged by continued advanced service revenue growth.

Over the last several years, the number of acquisitions and exchanges between

MSOs has declined, though there have been a number of mergers among large

Confidential Page 21. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

operators. The number of systems sold decreased between 1998 and 1999 from 119 to 92 systems. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of systems sold decreased from 92 to 47 systems, and between January and June 2001, there were 23 transactions. The total number of subscribers affected by system transactions and the average size of systems sold (measured by the number of subscribers per system) continues to vary greatly from year to year. Smaller cable operators, however, are often unable to take advantage of the efficiencies that come from clustering, and thus are more susceptible to financial difficulties. In the past year, small operators Galaxy Telecom, Inc., and Classic Communications faced such difficulties often seen among small MSOs. Some of the assets of these operators were sold to larger MSOs, further consolidating the industry.

While the number of subscribers affected by system transactions decreased

between 1999 and 2000, from 18.3 million to 10.5 million, the average size of traded systems increased from approximately 199,000 subscribers per system sold in 1999 to approximately 223,000 subscribers per system sold in 2000. In 2001, the average number of subscribers per system transaction was approximately 176,000. The total dollar value of transactions decreased between 1999 and 2000 from $73 billion at year-end 1999 to $62.1 billion at the end of 2000. The total dollar value of transactions in 2001 was approximately $15 billion.

The cable industry typically has relied on combinations of private and public

financing, with the distribution of these combinations varying greatly from year to year. These year-to-year fluctuations in financing sources appear to be based on the availability of acceptable financing rates through private investors or capital lending institutions, and the attractiveness of debt and equity offerings. During 2000, the cable industry acquired approximately $380 million in public equity offerings (i.e., sale of stock), $101 million in private equity (i.e., financing from individuals, private corporations, venture capital firms and investment banks), $2.8 billion in private debt (i.e., banks and other borrowings), and $4.2 billion in public debt (i.e., sale of public bonds).

C. Direct-to-Home (“DTH”) Satellite Service (DBS and HSD)

Video services are available from high power DBS satellites that transmit

signals to small DBS dish antennas installed at subscribers’ premises, and from medium and low power satellites requiring larger satellite dish antennas. DBS currently has over 16 million subscribers, an increase of approximately 24 percent since 2000. Between 2000 and 2001, the number of HSD subscribers, measured as

Confidential Page 22. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

the number of HSD users that actually purchase programming packages, declined from 1.5 million to one million, a decrease of 32 percent. DirecTV and EchoStar are each among the ten largest providers of multichannel video programming service. In 2001, DBS represented a 18.2 percent share of the national MVPD market and HSD represented another 1.1 percent of that market.

In 1999, DirecTV merged with United States Satellite Broadcasting Co., Inc.

(“USSB”) and acquired PrimeStar. There are now over ten million DBS subscribers (EchoStar, DirecTV, and PrimeStar’s subscribers being transitioned to DirecTV’s service), an increase of approximately 39% over the past eighteen months. The number of HSD subscribers, measured as the number of HSD users that actually purchase programming packages, has declined from 1.8 million to 1.5 million, which is likely due to subscribers switching to DBS. DirecTV and EchoStar are among the ten largest providers of multichannel video programming service. DBS represents a 15.4% share of the national MVPD market and HSD represented another 1.8% of that market.

On October 28, 2001, General Motors Corp. (“GM”) and its subsidiary

Hughes Electronics (“Hughes”) together with EchoStar Communications Corporation (“EchoStar”) announced the signing of definitive agreements that provide for the spin-off of Hughes from GM and the merger of Hughes with EchoStar. The combined company would use the EchoStar name and adopt the DIRECTV brand for its services and related products. The merger would create the nation's second-largest pay television platform with more than 16.7 million subscribers, of which 1.8 million subscribers are National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC) and affiliates, and 14.9 million subscribers are owned-and-operated by the combined company. Cable TV companies presently control more than 80 percent of the U.S. pay television market, while a combined EchoStar-Hughes would provide service to about 17 percent of the market.

The spin-off of Hughes from GM would result in current holders of Class H

common stock receiving one share of new Hughes Class C common stock in exchange for each share of Class H stock held prior to the spin-off. The merger of Hughes and EchoStar would result in Hughes being the surviving entity and taking the name EchoStar Communications Corp. Holders of Class A EchoStar common stock prior to the merger would receive 1.3699 shares of the new EchoStar in exchange for each share of Class A EchoStar common stock held prior to the merger. Based on the closing price of EchoStar common stock of $25.26 on Oct.

26, 2001, the transaction would provide a value of approximately $18.44 per GMH share, representing a 20-percent premium. As of Oct. 26, 2001, the implied market capitalization of Hughes was approximately $21.3 billion and the market capitalization of EchoStar was approximately $12.1 billion.

The transaction is expected to require approximately $5.5 billion of total financing, which EchoStar expects to fund in the capital markets prior to closing. Completion of this financing has been backstopped by a bridge commitment of approximately $2.75 billion from Deutsche Bank, and a bridge commitment of approximately $2.75 billion from General Motors, the latter of which the parties plan to replace with a commitment from one or more other leading financial institutions in the near future. The GM bridge commitment is secured by a pledge of $2.75 billion of EchoStar stock held by a trust controlled by EchoStar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Charles Ergen.

The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by a majority of each class of GM shareholders -- GM $1-2/3 and GM Class H -- voting both separately as distinct classes, and also together as a single class. Approval of the majority of EchoStar's voting shares has already been given by written consent. The proposed transaction also is subject to regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and approval by the Federal Communications Commission. The transaction is also contingent upon the receipt of a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the separation of Hughes from GM will qualify as a tax-free spin-off for U.S. Federal Income Tax purposes. The transaction is currently expected to close in the second half of 2002. D. Wireless Cable Systems

Currently, the wireless cable industry (“MMDS”) provides competition to the cable industry in limited areas. MMDS subscribership is at approximately 700,000 subscribers, falling from 821,000 between 1999 and 2001. With the advent of digital MMDS and the FCC’s authorization of two-way MMDS service, it appears that most MMDS spectrum eventually will be used to provide high-speed data services. Wireless cable represented an 8% share of the national MVPD market in 2001. E. SMATV Systems

SMATV systems, also know as private cable operators, use some of the same technology as cable systems, but do not use public rights-of-way, and focus principally on serving subscribers living in multiple dwelling units (“MDUs”). As of

Confidential Page 24. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

2001, SMATV subscribership remained unchanged from last year at 1.5 million subscribers, representing approximately 1.7% share of the national MVPD subscribership, dropping from 1.8% in 2000. F. Broadcast TV

Broadcast networks and stations are competitors to MVPDs in the advertising and program acquisition markets. Broadcast networks and stations also are suppliers of content for distribution by MVPDs. In addition, they supply video programming directly to those television households that are not MVPD subscribers and to television sets in MVPD households that are not connected to such service. In this regard, one study estimates that 81 million, or approximately 30 percent of the nation’s 267 million television sets, receive broadcast signals over-the-air. The broadcast industry has continued to grow in the number of operating stations (from 1,663 in 2000 to 1,678 in 2001) and in advertising revenues ($41 billion in 2000, a 12.2 percent increase over 1999). Audience levels, however, continue to decline. During the 2000-2001 television season, the seven television networks accounted for a 57 percent share of prime time viewing for all television households, compared to a 59 share a year earlier. Broadcast television stations continue to deploy digital television (“DTV”) service. Eighty-three percent of the more than 1,300 commercial television stations have been granted a DTV construction permit or license and 229 are currently on the air with DTV operation.

G. Local Exchange Carriers The 1996 Act expanded opportunities for LECs to enter the market for the

delivery of video programming. In recent years, the most aggressive LECs were reducing or terminating their efforts in the video marketplace. In 2001, ILECs have largely exited the video business, instead mainly reselling DBS service. While almost completely exiting the video programming business in 2001, BellSouth is reselling DBS service and, while at least one of the systems is currently for sale, continues to operate some overbuild cable systems in limited areas. A number of smaller LECs are offering, or preparing to offer, MVPD service over telephone lines. Some CLECs, most notably RCN, continue to pursue MVPD entry. Previously, Ameritech, now owned by SBC, was the most significant LEC provider of in-region cable service. In the past year, SBC sold these systems to WideOpenWest, which is considered a BSP and discussed below. Qwest Communications International (formerly US West) continues to offer video, high-speed Internet access, and telephone service over existing copper telephone lines using very high-speed digital

Confidential Page 25. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

subscriber line (“VDSL”) in Omaha and Phoenix. Reports indicate that 40 to 50 LECs, mostly small, also are using VDSL to offer a bundle of services, including video, over telephone lines.

H. Open Video Systems In the 1996 Act, Congress established a new framework for the delivery of

video programming called the open video system (“OVS”). Under these rules, a LEC or other entrant may provide video programming to subscribers, although the OVS operator must provide non-discriminatory access to unaffiliated programmers on a portion of its channel capacity. Several BSPs, including some that are CLECs, operate open video systems, hold OVS certifications, or hold local OVS franchises. RCN is by far the largest OVS operator in the country.

I. Internet Video As of 2001, 58 percent of the U.S. population has Internet access at home with

50 million households owning personal computers. Real-time and downloadable video accessible over the Internet continues to become more widely available and the amount of content also is increasing. Despite the evidence of increased interest in Internet video deployment and use, the medium is still not seen as a direct competitor to traditional video service. Broadcast quality Internet video requires a high-speed broadband connection at speeds which most current broadband providers cannot guarantee. Investment and development of Internet video services is continuing, however, video offered over the Internet still remains less than broadcast quality.

J. Home Video Sales and Rentals Sale and rental of home video, including videocassettes, DVDs, and laser

discs, should be considered part of the video marketplace because they provide services similar to the premium and pay-per-view offering of MVPDs. About 90 percent of all U.S. households have at least one VCR. The number of homes with DVD players has grown rapidly since their introduction, with the number of homes with DVD players expected to reach 25 million by the end of 2001. The newest home video is the personal video recorder (“PVR”). One source reports that 500,000 PVRs have been sold since they were introduced two years ago. A PVR can pause, rewind, and perform slow motion and instant replay of a live program, thereby allowing a viewer to watch earlier portions of a program while later portions of the program are still being broadcast. A PVR is intended for use with a service that

Confidential Page 26. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

provides an onscreen programming guide service through a telephone connection. This technology can be used to create a personal menu and can learn to record based with a viewer’s television preferences.

K. Facility Based Competitive Broadband Service Providers (BSP’s)

1. Overview

Since 1995, competing franchises have been awarded covering over 369 communities in 34 states, with the potential to pass 18.5 million homes. However, not all of the franchises awarded are currently operational. After a franchise is awarded, it can take a significant amount of time for the franchisee to build, or gain access to, a network over which to provide video service. The importance of competitive broadband service providers that are overbuilding existing cable systems with state-of-the-art systems that offer a bundle of telecommunications services, including video, voice, and high-speed Internet access, continues to grow. BSPs are carefully selecting which communities to serve, based on factors such as favorable demographics and high population density. Their strategy is to increase per subscriber revenue and decrease churn. Yet, BSPs face considerable challenges inherent in entering markets with entrenched competitors. RCN is the largest BSP, serving approximately 443,000 subscribers in New York City, Washington, D.C., and surrounding suburbs, South San Francisco, Boston and its suburbs, Northern New Jersey, and suburbs of Philadelphia. WideOpenWest (“WOW”) recently became the second largest BSP with its acquisition of the former Ameritech cable systems, which serve about 300,000 subscribers. In addition, WOW is constructing systems in selected metropolitan Denver communities. The third largest BSP is Knology, which operates or is building systems in the Southeast, and currently serves 110,000 subscribers.

Other planned overbuilds include Intertech Private Cable, which will compete

head-to-head with Adelphia in Kenmore, New York. It will offer ten more channels than Adelphia at a rate that is $5 less than Adelphia’s current rate. 21st Century has invested $250 million in fiber network in a portion of Chicago, where it offers cable television, Internet access, and telephone service. 21st Century plans to propose overbuilds in other portions of Chicago to compete head-to-head with AT&T. RCN passes 425,000 homes and serves 270,000 OVS and cable subscribers. RCN provides service to areas surrounding the City of Boston, the New York City metropolitan areas, and the surrounding areas of Washington, D.C. RCN extended its operations to San Francisco and Philadelphia. RCN offers Internet access, and

Confidential Page 27. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

local and long distance telephone, as well as video services. Several electric and gas utilities continue to move forward with ventures involving multichannel video programming distribution. The electric utilities possess characteristics that could potentially help them become a significant competitive player in the video services market. Many already possess fiber-optic networks throughout the public rights-of-way in their service areas. Some of these characteristics, such as ownership of fiber optic networks and access to public rights-of-way, make them competitively significant. Some utilities offer telecommunications services on their own, while others partner with broadband service providers, such as Starpower, RCN’s joint venture with PEPCO. A number of utilities have announced, commenced, or moved forward with ventures involving multichannel video programming distribution. Starpower, a joint venture between RCN and PEPCO, has begun to offer video, telephone, and Internet services in the Washington, D.C. area. Seren, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Northern States Power, is currently offering cable and high-speed data access as a competitive operator in several Minnesota communities and plans to expand its service. It also appears that utilities, particularly municipal utilities, are willing to build advanced telecommunications networks to offer a full range of services where incumbent cable operators and telephone companies are not. Others, including several municipal utilities in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia are currently or planning to provide broadband and telecommunications services to customers. Reports indicate that 357 municipalities currently offer communications services.

New municipal overbuild activity continues to grow. In Wadsworth, Ohio, the

city’s system has 2,228 customers. The city of Lebanon, Ohio, began serving cable subscribers in 1999. Both of these Ohio systems are competing with the incumbent cable operator, Time Warner. In Georgia, the cities of Acworth, Cairo, Camilla, Elberton, Moultrie, Newnan, Tifton, and Thomasville have constructed and launched systems. The Scottsboro Electric Power Board has constructed a municipal system in Scottsboro, Alabama. In Tennessee, the cities of Fayetteville and Covington have launched systems and the city of Columbia is currently constructing a system. Other communities, such as Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Glasgow and Murray, Kentucky, Palo Alto, California, Hastings, Nebraska, and Spencer, Iowa, have also constructed community owned competitive broadband systems. The communities tend to build state-of-the-art, two-way systems that will provide a wide array of analog channels, digital channels, and high-speed Internet service. These entities compete with incumbent cable operators such as AT&T, Charter, and Mediacom. They plan to

Confidential Page 28. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

compete by providing better service at a lower price. An indication that an overbuilt system may be in operation occurs when an

incumbent provider asks the FCC to determine that effective competition exists within its service area. Such a determination exempts the cable operator from regulation of its rates. As of December 31 1999, the FCC had granted 63 petitions for determination of effective competition status on the basis of overbuild competition. A review of selected areas where incumbent cable operators face head-to-head effective competition is included herein. The case-by-case analysis shows that such competition often results in lower prices, additional channels at the same monthly rate, improved services, or additional non-video services. The FCC’s latest update of this information is late each year , with the last being the Seventh Annual Report on Competition in Video Markets.

Private broadband service providers are now developing competitive systems

2. Incumbent Responses to Facility Based Competition

Following, is a description of a number of cases where the incumbent cable

Confidential Page 29. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

operator faced competition from a new entrant. UTI reports information gathered through comments filed in this proceeding, petitions filled with the Commission for a determination of effective competition, trade press reports, articles, and other publicly available sources.

Between July 2000 and June 2001, the Bureau granted 16 petitions for

effective competition, representing 240 communities, based on competitive entry from LECs or their affiliates, DBS, and municipal operators. These communities represent approximately two percent of all cable subscribers. The differences between competition and general market responses based on technological advances, improved marketing, and new service opportunities are not always easy to distinguish. However, in communities where head-to-head competition is present, the incumbent cable operator has generally responded to competitive entry in a variety of ways, such as by lowering prices, providing additional channels at the same monthly rate, improving customer service, adding new services, or by challenging the legality of the entrant’s activities.

For example, in Boston, Massachusetts, in response to RCN’s entry, the

incumbent cable operator in Boston, Cablevision of Boston (“Cablevision”), “moderated” its regional rate increase in the Boston area and agreed to improve its commitment to public and educational channels. RCN, a wholly owned subsidiary of RCN Telecom Services Inc., initially entered the Boston area market in 1996 as an OVS operator. It was granted a 15-year cable franchise by the City of Boston on July 27, 1999. By September 1999, RCN served a total of 11,000 subscribers in the Boston metropolitan area, including 5,000 subscribers in the City of Boston. By comparison Cablevision serves about 140,000 subscribers in Boston.

Because of its entry to the Boston area, the City of Boston was able to

negotiate a franchise renewal with Cablevision that imposed obligations on the incumbent more favorable to the public than would otherwise have been possible. The franchise agreement requires Cablevision to upgrade its system capacity within three years to offer more channels, as well as local telephone and high-speed Internet access. Initially Cablevision took steps to prevent RCN from going forward by filing a lawsuit against RCN and the city. Cablevision created a barrier to entry by refusing RCN access to inside wiring in MDUs in the Boston area.

Lower monthly rates and added or improved services were also found in a

number of other communities where the incumbent cable operator faced new entrants. For example, in Duluth, Georgia, the incumbent Rifkin & Associates,

Confidential Page 30. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Inc./Cable Equities of Colorado, Ltd. (“Rifkin”) faced aggressive advertising aimed at its subscribers, accompanied by extensive press coverage in the local media, from new entrant BellSouth Interactive Media Services, Inc. (“BIMS”). In response to aggressive competition from BIMS, Rifkin upgraded its system and added 19 new channels -- nine new expanded basic channels, a low priced, three-channel new product tier, and seven PPV channels.

Similarly, in Somerville, Massachusetts, upon RCN’s entry, Time Warner, the

incumbent, announced a rate freeze for only that area where it faced competition. In suburban Philadelphia, as a result of RCN’s entry, Comcast, the incumbent, began to offer “rate locks” and service improvements in the towns where it faced competition. In the Washington, D.C., area, as a result of entry by Starpower, an RCN affiliate, Comcast, the incumbent cable operator, reduced a previously proposed rate increase. In Fairfax County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., the incumbent Cox announced an upgrade of its plant in response to direct competition from RCN.

In some situations questions have been raised regarding the techniques used

by incumbent service providers to forestall competition. In Scottsboro, Alabama, the Scottsboro Electric Power Board (“Scottsboro”) began construction of a new, municipally owned cable television system in Scottsboro because of widespread dissatisfaction with Falcon Cablevision (“Falcon”), the incumbent cable operator. In late 1999, Charter Communications (“Charter”) acquired Falcon’s operation in Scottsboro. After acquiring the system, Charter upgraded the system, is now able to provide cable modem service and digital programming at competitive rates, and began to engage in a course of conduct that is designed to terminate Scottsboro’s efforts to compete in the market and, moreover, to signal other would-be competitors that attempts to enter other Charter markets would lead to similar predatory practices.

Since beginning in April 2000, Charter offered a special rate of $19.95 per

month for one year. It then allowed some customers to continue subscribing at that rate for a second year. In May 2000, Charter added one month of free service to the $19.95 rate. Charter’s special rates are available only to Scottsboro’s customers and are not available to all potential subscribers in Scottsboro. Charter normally charges $24.95 per month for its expanded basic service, which includes 200 channels comprised of 16 premium movie channels, 45 digital music channels, 16 educational channels, and 14 PPV channels. A digital receiver with remote and Charter’s on-screen guide are also included. Furthermore, Charter offers a $200 “bounty” to switch from Scottsboro to Charter, and an additional $200 if subscribers take its

Confidential Page 31. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Internet service. In addition, Charter established a system under which it retired subscribers’ old debts. Scottsboro states that Charter’s special offerings have induced about 36 percent of Scottsboro’s customers to switch to Charter.

Charter has engaged in similar behavior against Knology’s systems in West

Point, Georgia, and Montgomery, Alabama. Knology has provided cable service in West Point since 1998. In 1999, Charter purchased the incumbent cable system from Marcus Cable. After Knology entered the market, several rounds of lowering prices occurred until both providers were charging about $20 for expanded basic service. Charter did not offer the same discounted rates in nearby communities. According to Knology, in nearby communities, Charter’s prices ranged to more than $35 per month for expanded basic, more than the national average of $32.25. In addition, earlier this year, Charter began offering a “bounty” of $200 and free installation to any consumers that switched from Knology to Charter. Due to customers taking advantage of this offer, the effective cost of cable service was reduced to less than $4 per month. In Montgomery, Knology purchased an existing competitive system in 1997. When Charter acquired the incumbent cable system in 2001 from AT&T Broadband, it immediately lowered the price of its digital tier and offered consumers $300 to switch from Knology to Charter. According to Knology, Charter recently began to offer a “digital complete basic” service for less than $23 per month, which includes all analog expanded basic services, 50 channels available only on the digital tier, and 50 channels of digital music. In addition, Charter will forgive old debts to Charter or the system’s previous owner. Charter’s discounts and giveaways have reduced its prices below costs, even if only programming costs are considered. Charter is taking a significant loss on each new customer it takes from its competitors, but it may be able to recoup its losses once it has driven its competitors out of the market.

In communities where cable operators have faced competition for a substantial

period of time, the initial competitive response generally gives way to a more mature form of competition that benefits both subscribers and operators. In Omaha, Nebraska, where Cox and Qwest have been competing for the past six years, both offer a bundle of video, telephony, and high-speed Internet access services to entice new customers and retain old ones. For example, Qwest’s phone customers pay $28.95 per month for 59 channels of basic cable service and $39.95 per month for cable modem service. For its part, Cox charges $33.95 per month for its 70 channel basic cable service and its cable modem service is $5.00 lower than Qwest’s charge for cable modem service. As result of this competition, cable penetration in the area has increased and “churn” has stabilized.

Confidential Page 32. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

As the cases presented above suggest, subscribers usually benefit from “head-

to-head” competition. In communities where “head-to-head” competition has been sustained for a long period of time, customers generally receive lower monthly rates and better service, while operators generally enjoy higher penetration rates and lower churn rates. In some cases, particularly where a new entrant may appear vulnerable for financial or other reasons, the initial response of a large incumbent MSO to competition may be motivated by anticompetitive animus rather than legitimate business concerns. Because of the difficulty and cost of pursuing antitrust remedies, it may be that the target of anticompetitive conduct is without practical remedy.

The Scottsboro and Knology examples highlight the difficulties of new

entrants that, for whatever reason, are capable of competing only within a confined geographic region. The vast resources of a large MSO may simply prove too much if brought to bear in a targeted fashion against a single system entrant. Moreover, the signal such targeting may send to others who would compete in the MVPD market, and particularly to the financial markets to which a new entrant may well be dependent for resources. It is not clear that the FCC has specific statutory authority to address these kinds of problems directly. There has been some suggestion that our authority to prohibit anticompetitive acts or unfair practices under section 628 of the Act would reach targeted and predatory competitive responses. Alternatively, it the FCC may be required to seek additional authority from Congress in order to combat such practices, which tend to limit competition and discourage new entry.

3. Additional Competitive Market Case Studies A number of cases have been examined where an incumbent cable operator

faced “head-to-head” competition from one of a variety of new entrants including municipalities, LECs, public utilities, and DBS operators. In communities where head-to-head competition is present, the incumbent cable operator has responded to competitive entry in a variety of ways, such as by lowering prices, providing additional channels at the same monthly rate, improving customer service, or adding new services including high speed Internet and telephone services.

Following, are descriptions of the initial response of both incumbents and new

entrants in several local franchise areas where the incumbent cable operator is facing competition from a new entrant. The samples of competitive responses discussed below include localities in which an incumbent cable operator was found by the FCC to face effective competition from a new entrant, as well as communities for which a

Confidential Page 33. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

petition for effective competition has been filed and is pending before the FCC. These case studies examine situations in which an incumbent is faced with effective competition from a single new entrant, and do not necessarily reflect potential competitive responses if an area was to have more than one effective competitor.

a. Royal Oak, Huntington Woods, and Clawson, Michigan

Ameritech New Media (“Ameritech”), a subsidiary of an LEC, was awarded a

cable franchise in June 1997 by the City of Royal Oaks, Michigan. In July 1997, Ameritech was granted cable franchises by the Cities of Huntington Woods and Clawson, Michigan. Ameritech began offering video services to Royal Oaks in December 1997, to Clawson in March 1998, and to Huntington Woods in April 1998.

TCI Cablevision of Oakland County, Michigan, is the incumbent cable

operator in all three communities. According to TCI, Ameritech has reached penetration levels of 44%, 32% and 40.5% in Royal Oaks, Huntington Woods, and Clawson, respectively. TCI’s penetration rates are 51.8% in Royal Oaks, 66.1% in Huntington Woods, and 52.9% in Clawson.

As of 1998, Ameritech charged $9.95 per month for its basic tier which

included primarily local broadcast channels. Its “Americast” expanded basic tier had 60 channels and was priced at $29.95 per month. To promote its Americast services, Ameritech offered a variety of promotional packages to its new subscribers, including free cable service for two months, $120 worth of grocery coupons, a free premium movie channel, and free installation.

In June 1997, prior to Ameritech’s entry into the Royal Oaks, Huntington, and

Clawson areas, TCI had added new channels to its “cable plus” package and raised monthly rates by 13%. When Ameritech was granted its franchises, TCI reduced its monthly rates for the cable plus package from $32.20 per month to $28.95 per month, a 10% reduction, and moved the Disney Channel from a premium service to a basic service tier (Ameritech also offered the Disney Channel as a basic service). In addition, TCI offered its subscribers in the Royal Oaks area discount coupons worth $10. TCI offered a free converter box and remotes in Royal Oaks and Clawson. TCI also offered “money back guarantees” on premium programming in all three communities.

TCI petitioned the FCC for a determination of effective competition in the

Confidential Page 34. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Royal Oaks, Huntington Woods, and Clawson areas. The Cable Services FCC granted the petition on February 5, 1999. The FCC found that Ameritech had overbuilt TCI’s systems in each of the affected communities and was competing for subscribers with TCI in those areas. Also, Ameritech’s extensive marketing efforts and press coverage of its construction ensure that potential subscribers were aware of the availability of Ameritech’s service. The FCC also noted that as a result of competition in the above communities, cable rates were lower, new channels were added, and equipment was provided free of charge.

b. West Point, Georgia

On June 1, 1998, ITC Globe, Inc., d/b/a/ Knology (“Knology”), began

providing its cable service in the City of West Point, Georgia. Knology is affiliated with the incumbent LEC, Interstate/Valley Telephone Company. Its 750 MHz system is capable of providing video and high- speed Internet services.

Initially, Knology offered a 17 channel basic service package for $8.75 per

month, and a 59 channel extended basic package for $25.95 per month. Its extended basic package included a number of channels that were unavailable on the incumbent cable operator’s channel line up. Knology later reduced its extended basic rate to $19.95 per month and added six additional channels. It also offered free installation and a “30-day money back guarantee” to its subscribers.

Knology also discounted its “bundled” Internet and cable services.

Specifically, Knology charged $29.95 per month to its cable customers for its “Olobahn” high-speed Internet access service, but charged its non-cable subscribers $49.95 per month for the same service. Knology’s subscribers could also opt for a consolidated bill for cable, telephone, and Internet services.

Marcus (now Charter Communications, Inc.), the incumbent cable operator in

West Point, responded to Knology’s entry in a variety of ways. According to Marcus, it recently: (a) upgraded its 350 MHz system to a 750 MHz system; (b) added six new programming services to its expanded basic package and reduced the price for that package; (c) implemented an overall price reduction of up to 48% for its basic, extended basic, and premium packages; (d) ceased charging customers for its wire maintenance protection plan; and (e) implemented various marketing and advertising plans detailing its rates and service changes. As of August, 1998, 205 of Marcus’ subscribers had switched to Knology. Marcus reported that Knology had a subscriber base of 214 compared to its own subscriber base of 1,200.

Confidential Page 35. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Marcus petitioned the FCC for a determination of effective competition in

West Point. The FCC granted the petition on January 26, 1999. The FCC found that Knology had overbuilt Marcus’ system, and that potential subscribers were aware of the availability of Knology’s service. Also, potential subscribers were able to receive Knology’s service for little or no additional investment and without encountering regulatory and technical difficulties. The FCC also noted that cable rates were lower and additional services were being provided as a result of competition in West Point.

c. Somerville, Massachusetts

On December 16, 1997, the City of Somerville awarded a cable franchise to RCN-BecoCom, L.L.C. (“RCN”). Previously, RCN, a telecommunications company, was certified by the FCC to be an OVS operator in Somerville. RCN has been providing video and other services to Somerville residents since October 1997.

Prior to providing cable services in Somerville, RCN launched a $2.25 million

advertising campaign that offered telephone, Internet, and cable services at a lower “bundled” rate than anywhere else in the country. In response to RCN’s advertising campaign and impending entry, Time Warner launched its own advertising campaign, offering its subscribers a free subscription to TV Guide, an additional channel, and lower rates for its universal remote control.

RCN offered a standard service consisting of 75 channels for $24.95 per

month. Its standard service included channels such as the Disney Channel, The History Channel, and the Discovery Channel. The monthly charge for RCN’s standard service was further discounted to $19.97 per month for subscribers who also bought local telephone service from RCN. RCN also offered unlimited high-speed Internet access for an additional $19.95 per month. The monthly charge for Internet access was discounted to $17.95 if subscribers also subscribed to RCN’s cable or telephone services. Time Warner charged $26.48 for its 56 channel “standard”` service. RCN offered free standard installation whereas Time Warner charged $30.64 for installation.

In November 1997, Time Warner announced a 10% price increase for its

standard cable services in 82 Massachusetts communities, but did not increase rates in Somerville. In 1998, Time Warner reduced monthly charges for its basic and standard services in Somerville by $0.19 and $0.09 per month, respectively. As of

Confidential Page 36. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

1998, Time Warner was charging $26.20 for its 56 channel standard service. Time Warner’s standard service had 19 fewer channels than RCN’s. Moreover, unlike RCN, Time Warner’s standard service did not include Disney Channel, Discovery Channel and The History Channel. Time Warner charged $9.50 a month for the Disney channel and $.75 a month for the Discovery and The History channels.

After entry by RCN, Time Warner reduced rates for certain premium services.

For example, prior to RCN’s entry, Time Warner was charging $12.55 for three channels of HBO. As of 1998, Time Warner reduced its rate for the three channel HBO package to $11.50, an 8% reduction. RCN charged $11.95 for two channels of HBO. At the same time, Time Warner offered its subscribers more flexibility in selecting programming packages by allowing them to buy premium services without having to subscribe to its standard service. In early 1999, Time Warner announced that it would freeze its rates in Somerville during 1999.

According to one report, as of March 1999, between 2,000 to 2,500 of the

approximately 19,000 Time Warner subscribers in Somerville switched to RCN. A number of RCN’s subscribers purchase “bundled” services, including Internet access and telephone service. Currently, Time Warner does not offer Internet or telephone service in Somerville. However, Time Warner is planning to swap its Somerville system with MediaOne, and the latter is expected to provide Somerville with Internet and telephone service in addition to cable services.

Time Warner filed a petition requesting a finding of effective competition in

the City of Somerville. The petition was granted on February 5, 1999, recognizing that potential subscribers were reasonably aware of the availability of RCN’s services, and that subscribers in wired areas were able to receive RCN’s cable service for only a minimal additional investment and without encountering regulatory or technical obstacles.

d. Various Communities, Vermont

In May 1999, Adelphia Cable Communications (“Adelphia”) filed petitions challenging the certification of the Vermont Public Service Board to regulate Adelphia’s basic cable service and equipment rates in ten franchise areas. In the petitions, Adelphia argued that its cable systems faced effective competition because DBS providers offered comparable programming to at least 50% of households in the franchise areas, and the subscriber base of competing MVPDs exceeded 15% of households. In September 1999, the FCC granted Adelphia’s petitions.

DBS service is presumed to be technically available to all subscribers due to

United Telesystems, Inc.

its nationwide satellite footprint, and is presumed to be actually available if households in a franchise area are made reasonably aware that the service is available. Adelphia provided evidence of advertisements in local media about the availability of DBS service in each of the affected franchise areas.

According to local newspaper advertisements, DirecTV offered three months

of “Total Choice” programming free to new subscribers. This programming package consisted of 85 channels including the Disney Channel, Lifetime, ESPN, and A&E Channel. Also, DBS dealers offered free professional installation or a free “do it yourself” installation kit.

Adelphia, in the affected Vermont localities, offered between 7 and 15

channels on its basic service tier. Adelphia’s “CableValue” tier, on average, had 24 channels, including CNN, A&E, Nickelodeon, ESPN and the New England Sports Channel. The Disney Channel was offered as a premium service in its systems.

In nine of the ten affected franchise areas, DBS penetration rates ranged from

16% to 63%. In three of the ten affected franchise areas, the penetration rate for Adelphia ranged from 38% to 41%. In one of the affected franchise areas, Adelphia’s share of residential MVPD market was only 11%, smaller than DBS penetration in that area. In Vermont as a whole, Adelphia is the dominant cable operator, serving 70% of all households in the state.

Unlike the cases described above, direct evidence of a reduction in monthly

charges or change in services offered by the incumbent cable operator is unavailable. Although Adelphia upgraded a majority of its systems in Vermont, it is not clear whether the affected franchises were part of that upgrade nor whether the upgrade was undertaken as a competitive response or was previously scheduled.

e. Lebanon, Ohio

In August 1997, the Lebanon Bureau of Telecommunication Services (“LBTS”) was awarded a cable franchise by the city of Lebanon. LBTS is a part of the Lebanon Department of Service – Division of Electricity. LBTS has been providing cable services to Lebanon residents since February 1999. LBTS charges $5.99 per month for basic cable service and provides 27 channels on this tier. For its combined basic and deluxe cable service, LBTS charges $20.98 and provides 61 channels. In addition to cable service, LBTS is also planning to provide dial up Internet access at $19.99 per month and cable Internet service at $39.99 per month.

Confidential Page 38. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

As of February 1999, LBTS’ cable system passed 70% of the households in the City of Lebanon and the remaining 30% were to be wired shortly.

Time Warner is the incumbent cable operator in Lebanon. Prior to LBTS’

entry, Time Warner provided service to nearly 3,000 of approximately 7,300 potential subscribers. Upon LBTS’ entry, in March 1999, Time Warner started to offer significant discounts to retain its subscribers and to win back subscribers who switched to LBTS. Time Warner offered a special rate of $45 per month for a service that included all of Time Warner’s “standard” services plus several premium channels and two set-top boxes. Prior to LBTS’ entry, Time Warner charged $57.10 a month for a similar package.

By one account, as of July 1999, LBTS had 800 subscribers. A significant

majority of LBTS’ subscribers are former Time Warner subscribers. In 1999, Time Warner reduced its 23 channel limited basic tier rate from $7.74 per month to $5.99 per month, a reduction of about 23%. Also, Time Warner reduced its 67 channel extended basic tier rate from $28.17 per month to $20.98 per month, a 25% reduction. In July 1999, Time Warner further reduced its extended basic rate to $14.99 a month. Moreover, Time Warner authorized its marketing representatives to offer promotional discounts that included free movie channels to subscribers who were planning to switch to LBTS.

Time Warner also announced that its Lebanon system would be one of the first

Time Warner systems to offer a digital package that would include channels such as the Golf Channel and the Disney Channel. Time Warner also plans to offer high speed cable modem service to its Lebanon subscribers for $39.95 per month. LBTS, in turn, was considering reducing its previously announced monthly rate of $39.99 for high-speed Internet service.

f. Preliminary Findings The case studies suggest that subscribers have benefited from “head-to-head”

competition. Generally, in the communities studied, subscribers: (a) paid lower monthly charges for services and equipment; (b) have received additional program offerings; (c) have access to alternative sources of telecommunications and Internet services; (d) have received new digital services; and (e) may expect better customer service from the incumbent cable operator. The Vermont case study also suggests an absence of competitive response by the incumbent when faced with “non-wireline” head-to-head competition such as from DBS. The Vermont case is the first instance

Confidential Page 39. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

where the FCC granted an incumbent cable operator’s petition for a determination of effective competition due to the presence of competition from DBS.

It appears that the incumbent operators in the localities described above have

made greater use of “price” rather than “non-price” competitive responses. With the exception of the case in Vermont, the incumbents in the above examples have reduced their rates for basic or standard and premium services. In the Michigan communities studied, the incumbent cable operator also reduced equipment charges.

The cases described above also indicate that the new entrants in West Point

and Somerville sought to attract subscribers by providing “bundled” cable and high speed Internet access services at a discounted price. To counter these service offerings, the incumbent operator in West Point responded by significantly upgrading its system.

The benefits of competition do not appear to accrue to subscribers in areas

adjoining those communities where head-to-head competition is present. For example, reduced prices and additional services enjoyed by subscribers in Somerville and Lebanon were not available to subscribers in nearby areas. Ameritech notes that subscribers in communities adjacent to competitive communities pay more for similar services than subscribers in competitive communities. For example, in Independence, Ohio, Cablevision charges a total package price of $50.69 for a channel line-up nearly identical to that offered in nearby Brooklyn, Ohio, for $30.90 where it competes with Ameritech. Similarly, in Auburn, Michigan, AT&T charges $45.98 for a package identical to that offered in nearby Rochester, Michigan, for $39.40 where it faces competition from Ameritech. IV. BROADBAND NETWORK CAPABILITIES A. Overview A Broadband Network can provide residential and commercial customers with video programming services, high speed data and Internet access, and telephone services. Designed utilizing a flexible architecture, the network will be capable of evolving as technological advancements prove their economic feasibility through customer acceptance of new products and services. Broadband service providers in many markets are in the process of upgrading their primarily one-way networks to high-capacity two-way interactive

Confidential Page 40. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

communications networks. The incumbent service providers in Geneva have generally not elected to upgrade their infrastructures to the level set forth in this Feasibility Study, therefore the City has a unique opportunity to gain market share through the establishment of a new Broadband Network offering enhanced service capabilities to residential and commercial consumers. Incumbent broadband service providers face significant technical problems associated with upgrading facilities for providing advanced services over cable HFC networks. Return path transmission interference often results from noise generated at the connection points between the trunk-distribution line connection and the distribution line-drop connections. Data transmissions in upgraded systems are vulnerable to signal ingress which causes interference and degradation caused by degraded elements of the Broadband Network such as fittings and service drops. Broadband Networks are also one of the primary networks which utilities will utilize as they automate processes and provide a variety of new products and services to existing and new customers. The Broadband Network would provide the City with a high-speed customer communications network framework to potentially provide real-time automatic meter reading, market-based pricing, outage reporting, both load control and customer choice control, and other customer and company communications services. In addition, the interactive Broadband Network of the future could support new energy services such as the City’s video channel that could be the interface for a large number of the city’s utility customers. On this video channel, the City would be able to market services to their customers, allow customers access to current and historical billing information, and provide a means for customers to pay their bills via electronic funds transfer.

The utilization of fiber-optic technology increases the Broadband Network’s capacity and reduces noise, providing cleaner transmission paths that are necessary for provisioning such services as high-speed Internet access, telephony and other new services which require two-way interactivity. The use of an “HFC” architecture will enable the City to deliver applications at very high data rates. This Feasibility Study is based upon the assumption that the City will construct and operate a Broadband Network capable of providing more than 100 analog video channels, hundreds of digital video channels, as well as provide capacity for Internet access, telephony and other services. With respect to Internet access, the Broadband Network will be capable of carrying data up to several 100 times faster than transmission using dial-up modems over ordinary telephone lines, and 100 times faster than ISDN (integrated services digital network) telephone lines. Because the Broadband Network will be a shared medium, these speeds vary

Confidential Page 41. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

depending on the number of actual subscribers using the Internet connection at the same time. Cable operators are continuing with the deployment of advanced technologies including digital video, Internet access, and telephony services over their cable systems. As indicated earlier, upgrades to their system infrastructure are being made so that operators can provide quality and reliable new services. Operators also may be choosing to make upgrades to increase system capacity prior to commencing digital transmission or two-way services. Additionally, cable systems previously providing only one-way (“downstream”) analog service to the customer may require upgrading to eliminate poor electronic connections and other sources of interference prior to providing two-way (“upstream” and “downstream”) data services. Two-way infrastructure is necessary for services such as two-way cable modems where data is transmitted entirely over cable and the provision of telephone services over cable wiring. B. Broadband Network Architecture Overview

Beginning in the early 1990’s, Broadband Network architectures have transformed from closed systems that feature one-way delivery of analog television signals to two-way, interactive broadband systems, comprised of a hybrid of traditional coaxial and modern fiber optic technologies (“hybrid fiber- coaxial” or “HFC”). The HFC architecture was the first cost effective architecture deployed capable of delivering high quality video programming, interactive services, high-speed data and Internet access, telephony, and other revenue generating applications. Broadband networks are evolving from one-way video entertainment networks of 300-550 MHz bandwidth to full service, two-way, all optic FTTH/FTTB networks. The evolution from one-way to two-way technology has been occurring for several years and is escalating as broadband providers seek to enter advanced communications businesses.

In years past, networks deployed by cable television operators were constructed to provide only traditional video programming services that required only one-way transmission of signals. Until recently, the traditional one-way cable television system provided approximately 50 channels of analog video. The network was a full coaxial system designed with a centralized “headend” and lines called “trunks” leading from the headend to trunk amplifiers and line extenders placed in residential neighborhoods. The headend is the technological center of the system, where many programming operations and functions are processed, such as

Confidential Page 42. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

the reception of satellite delivered programming and broadcast signals. It includes facilities for descrambling incoming signals from satellite and broadcast programming networks, assigning them channel numbers, and processing them for retransmission over cable lines. The headend also contains electronic equipment for inserting advertising at the local level, encrypting signals for security purposes, and playing or producing public access/local origination programming. A traditional coaxial cable system included many amplifiers to boost the signal along the way to subscribers’ homes. A coaxial wire called a “drop” line then carried the service from the distribution line to the customer’s television set.

The HFC architecture replaces the previous coaxial trunk with a fiber-optic “trunk.” The fiber terminates at optical nodes, where the signal is then carried over an upgraded high bandwidth coaxial cable to the customer premises. HFC networks require fewer amplifiers and offer improved reliability, increased capacity, and clearer signal transmission, all of which facilitate two-way transmission. The FTTH/FTTB architecture is now replacing the HFC architecture, which eliminates all network RF amplifiers and electronics.

The Feasibility Study assumes the deployment of an advanced Broadband Network utilizing an FTTH/FTTB architecture as the basic transmission media. Since its introduction and implementation in recent years, FTTH/FTTB is quickly become the architecture of choice for many new entrants into the broadband services market seeking to develop a network for multiple service offerings that is future proof in network design. Fiber optics technology provides the system operator with a high degree of reliability, scalability, flexibility and extended bandwidth.

In addition to flexibly serving customers with high bandwidth communications capability, FTTH/FTTB’s hierarchical nature allows simple hubbing and interconnection via fiber transport. The architecture also provides a platform for the introduction of new services as they are developed. The FTTH/FTTB optical transmission network can consist of several different transmission sub-networks: the optical transmission network from the headend/central office to the Primary Hub; the optical transmission network from the Primary Hub to the Secondary Hub; the optical transmission network from the Secondary Hub and/or Secondary Ring and the optical transmission network to the customer premise device. The optical transmission network consists of the optical transmitter, the optical distribution network, the fiber optic cable and the fiber optic receiver. Using premium grade optical transmitters will optimize the design, which minimizes the cost in the transmitter section. From each transmitter, an optical loss

United Telesystems, Inc.

budget will be estimated to link the headend/central office with the customer premise. By linking the Broadband Network headend and distribution hubs, Geneva would be positioned to better allocate resources over a broader customer base to achieve maximum program delivery efficiency through proper headend utilization while providing a high level of redundancy and reliability.

UTI has recommended a technologically advanced Broadband Network architecture to be deployed based upon: (1) equipment availability, (2) capability, (3) flexibility (4) potential service offerings, and (5) capital costs. C. Digital Video Services Digital signal transmission, as compared to the analog signal transmission historically used in cable systems, can provide superior video picture quality and increased channel capacity through compression techniques. Subscriber reception of digital video signals requires a set-top device to decompress and decode incoming signals and to translate the digital signals into the analog signals used by current television sets. Digital video technology is a computerized method of defining, transmitting and storing information that makes up a television signal. Digital video technology will allow the City greatly increase channel offerings through the use of compression, which converts one analog channel into 8 to 12 digital channels. The digitally compressed signal is up-linked to a satellite, which sends the signal back down to the Broadband Network's headend to be distributed, via optical fiber and coaxial cable, to customer's home. A digital-capable set-top box in the customer's home converts the digital signal back into an analog format so that it can be viewed on a normal television screen.

Confidential Page 44. 9/20/02

D. Interactive Services

Broadband Networks will have the capacity to deliver various interactive television services. Interactive television can be divided into three general service categories: enhanced television; Internet over the television; and video-on-demand. These new services enable the customer to interact over the television set, generally by using a conventional remote television control or a computer keyboard, to either buy a product or service or request information on a product or service. Enhanced television includes such services as ancillary programming information, interactive advertising and impulse sales and purchases. Companies delivering enhanced television services include TV Guide Interactive, Wink Communications and Source Media. TV Guide Interactive provides the most basic enhanced television service, a navigator that permits customers to customize television program listings, set reminders and parental controls and order pay-per-view events. Wink offers viewers the opportunity to interact with the television during programs or commercials by way of flashing icons, leading them to program-related information, such as news, sports and weather, or the ability to purchase merchandise, or request product samples, coupons or catalogues. Source Media allows viewers to receive local programming and information services using a local guide and navigator with an Internet style experience. Companies providing Internet access over the television include WebTV and WorldGate Communications. Internet access and e-mail are delivered using a set-top box with the customer using a wireless keyboard. WebTV customers buy the set-top device at retail outlets and are able to view enhanced web images on the television screen. WorldGate Communications allows a viewer watching a commercial or program on the television to link directly to a related web page and requires no purchase by the customer of the set-top box. WorldGate Communications uses the set-top boxes now being deployed by the cable industry. Companies providing video-on-demand, such as DIVA Systems Corporation and Intertainer Inc., use servers at the headend facility of a cable system to provide hundreds of movies or special events on demand with video cassette recorder functionality, or the ability to fast forward, pause and rewind a program at will. Using a remote control, customers order programming through their set-top box. The ordering process signals the server, enabling the hardware and software residing at the headend facility to react to the order request.

E. Internet and High-Speed Data Services

Broadband Networks enable data to be transmitted up to 100 times faster

Confidential Page 45. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

than traditional telephone modem technologies. This high-speed capability allows cable modem customers to download large files from the Internet in a fraction of the time required when using the traditional telephone modem. It also allows much quicker response times when surfing the Internet, providing a richer experience for the customer. In addition, the two-way communications capability of the cable Internet connection eliminates the need for a telephone line. The cable Internet connection is always on, and does not require the customer to dial into the Internet service provider nor to “log on,” and await authorization.

To ensure inter-operable, non-proprietary cable modems are made available

for purchase or lease by customers on a retail basis. General software operating standards, known as data over cable service interface specifications (“DOCSIS”), have been established. As of the year 2000, fourteen industry vendors, including equipment manufacturers such as 3Com, Cisco, General Instrument, Phillips Electronics, Samsung, Scientific-Atlanta, Sony, Thomson and Toshiba, received official DOCSIS certification from Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. As a result, standardized cable modems are currently available for purchase through various distribution channels, including retail outlets, personal computer manufacturers, and directly through the cable operator. Such availability will allow customers to use these modems in different systems similar to the traditional telephone modem, and should accelerate the deployment of high-speed Internet access over cable networks. Speed, ease of installation and availability of cable modems should serve to increase the use and impact of the Internet. Furthermore, a Broadband Network, combined with data over cable service interface specifications, is currently the best vehicle to deliver all Internet protocol services, including Internet access, broadband content, streaming media and Internet protocol telephony to customers both on the computer and to the television via a digital set-top box, even though other high-speed alternatives are being developed. The Business Plan anticipates that the City will provide connectivity and e-mail hosting. The Business Plan does not anticipate that the City will provide Internet content.

Cable systems and cable modems offer speeds up to 27 megabits-per-second (“Mbps”) as compared with telephone company xDSL technologies that allow consumers to surf the Internet at speeds between 1.5 Mbps and 52 Mbps, though most users experience between only 3 to 10 Mbps for cable and between 1.5 and 7.1 for ADSL, the most widely used form of xDSL. Telephone companies, however, are able to offer customers the ability to access the Internet, while simultaneously talking

Confidential Page 46. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

on the same telephone line. Additionally, telephone companies, in association with xDSL technologies, utilize “dedicated lines” that run from the telephone company customer’s home to the central office, and can nearly guarantee certain speeds of data transmission. Cable networks use shared network infrastructure to the central office, thus the rate of speed can depend on the number of subscribers using the shared bandwidth at any given point in time. Consumers also can purchase traditional “low-speed” data access for the personal computer, which uses a traditional telephone modem and traditional telephone lines to transmit data, and which yields significantly slower data exchange rates.

As an example, Table 1 compares the transfer rate for downloading a 10 Megabyte file. A 10 Megabyte file is approximately the equivalent of a 10 to 20 minute movie clip. HFC architecture can transmit both upstream and downstream packets of information. The City thus will be positioned to operate as “pipeline” or “conduit” services, or become a full-service provider combining both Internet access and other value-added services.

During the last several years, the cable industry has been developing the capability to provide telephony services. Broadband telephony requires sizeable and expensive upgrades and presents a number of technical obstacles. Over the past two years, cable operators have begun developing Internet Protocol Telephony (“IP

Confidential Page 47. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

telephony”) as a potential alternative to switched cable telephony. An IP telephony voice call starts out similar to a cable telephony voice call in that both begin with special equipment that connects a household’s twisted pair infrastructure and cable infrastructure to one another. The difference between the technologies is that cable telephony eventually turns the call over to traditional “circuit switched” processing, while IP telephony eventually turns the call over to the network of the Internet for Internet Protocol processing. IP telephony treats voice telephone calls like data is treated on the Internet; that is, digitized pieces of data are divided into discrete packets and are transported over the Internet following the path of least resistance. As a result calls made using IP telephony technology may encounter choppiness and delays (“latency”). Today, many features, such as call waiting, are not part of the package of IP Telephony, but will be available to residential customers within the next one to two years. The Internet itself is not designed to provide circuit switched connections, such as those now used by switched telephone networks. Although there are significant technological difficulties that need to be worked out with IP telephony, many broadband service providers are considering this approach to replace current cable telephony technology. AT&T, is currently the leading proponent of IP telephony. The cable industry’s approach to eliminate latency in IP telephony is to eventually build a backbone network that is separate from the general public Internet backbone. IP telephony is currently being commercially offered on a small scale by providers such as AT&T, Sprint, Qwest Communications, NetWorks Telephony Corporation, Vocal Tec, and numerous small IP Telephony Service Providers (“IPTPs”), but for the most part remains in the development and trial stage. Recent developments will likely accelerate the pace of development of the voice telephony business for the cable industry.

The City’s Broadband Business Plan anticipates the construction of a

Broadband Network with excess fiber optic capacity, thereby affording to the City the flexibility to pursue new data and telecommunications opportunities such as:

1. Providing wide-area networks, which extends a local area network outside of one building to other local area networks in other buildings and possibly in other cities;

2. Providing point-to-point data services, which is a secure circuit

that directly connects two points;

3. Offering virtual private networks, which use a shared data network to transport private data reliably and securely; and

Confidential Page 48. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

4. Leasing dark fiber capacity to enable carriers to penetrate markets

and bypass incumbent providers. G. Multi-Service Offerings As discussed above, numerous broadband service providers are offering customers, in many of their service areas, more than standard video services. Multi-service offerings and bundling services for sale seem to enhance subscription to alternative services offered by cable companies. Digital audio and digital, high-resolution video, as well as telephony and Internet access through cable modems are becoming high demand services that cable has the bandwidth capability to offer, depending on the capacity of the particular system. Indications are that customers value receiving these services through “one-stop-shopping.” For example, many large MSOs have found that bundling increases penetration of video and of new services. Bundling of services increases consumer awareness, interest, and ultimately penetration of services while saving on administrative and marketing costs. Many competitive broadband service providers such as McLeodUSA, RCN, and Knology started by offering video programming as part of bundled services. Many of these firms depend on their ability to offer multiple bundled services in discounted packages as a way to attract customers. V. INVENTORY OF EXISTING ASSETS The City must secure land and facilities to accommodate expanding into the provision of broadband services. The City should attempt to locate the headend electronic facility and satellite receiver earth station adjacent to customer service and technical support offices in Geneva. The off-air tower and satellite receiving earth station should be located at a site adjacent to the City broadband services office/headend facility and interconnected with that facility. Certain steps should be taken to organize a professional management team to handle the daily operations of the business. This would include a Technical Manager, Technicians, and Customer Service Representatives. It is likely that, with proper training, some existing personnel in customer service or the City’s utility department may be cross-trained to provide support for the Broadband Network operation. If the City elects to pursue the broadband initiative, an outside firm should be retained to manage the initial planning, financing, design, construction and

Confidential Page 49. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

deployment stages of the operation. VI. BROADBAND SERVICE PROVIDERS AND SERVICES A. The City of Geneva Video Services 1. The City’s Broadband Network As proposed, the City Broadband Network Initiative calls for the construction and activation of approximately 113.24 plant miles of broadband infrastructure passing an estimated 9,999 serviceable residential and commercial potential customers passed in and around Geneva, Illinois area with the ultimate objective of providing as close to universal service as economically feasible. 2. Rates and Video Services The following rates are assuming that the City develops its system on a stand-alone basis:

The Feasibility Study assumes that the City will provide a Limited Basic Video Services Tier of eighteen (18) channels for $10.95 per month and the Expanded Basic Video Services Tier of fifty-seven (57) channels for $23.00 per month. There is also an additional Line Maintenance Plan for $1.95 per month. This brings the total cost for Standard Basic service $35.90 per month, excluding franchise fees and taxes.

The City will also provide a Digital Basic Tier that includes 35 video

channels and 45 audio channels for $10.95 per month and a Premiere Basic Tier that includes 110 video channels and 45 audio channels for $46.85 per month.

It is also expected that the City will provide HBO, HBO Plus, and HBO Family for $11.95 per month and an HBO Digital Group (6 channels) for $11.95 per month. The Showtime Group (5 channels) will be offered for $10.95 per month, the Cinemax Group (4 channels) for $9.95 per month, the Movie Channel Group (3 channels), and the Starz Group (6 channels) will be offered for $8.95 per month. The Encore Group will be offered for $5.95 per month. In addition, there will be a Showtime Digital Combo (Showtime, TMC, FLIX, and Sundance) offered for $12.95 per month and an HBO Digital Group plus a Cinemax Digital Group offered for $19.50 per month.

Confidential Page 50. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

The following rates are assuming that the Tri-Cities enter into an arrangement with each other:

The Feasibility Study assumes that the Tri-Cities will provide a Limited Basic Video Services Tier of eighteen (18) channels for $10.95 per month and the Expanded Basic Video Services Tier of fifty-seven (57) channels for $22.00 per month. There is also an additional Line Maintenance Plan for $1.95 per month. This brings the total cost for Standard Basic service $34.90 per month, excluding franchise fees and taxes.

The Tri-Cities will also provide a Digital Basic Tier that includes 35 video

channels and 45 audio channels for $10.50 per month and a Premiere Basic Tier that includes 110 video channels and 45 audio channels for $45.40 per month.

It is also expected that the Tri-Cities will provide HBO, HBO Plus, and HBO Family for $11.95 per month and an HBO Digital Group (6 channels) for $11.95 per month. The Showtime group (5 channels) will be offered for $10.95 per month, the Cinemax group (4 channels) for $9.95 per month, the Movie Channel group (3 channels), and the Starz group (6 channels) will be offered for $8.95 per month. The Encore group will be offered for $5.95 per month. In addition, there will be a Showtime Digital Combo (Showtime, TMC, FLIX, and Sundance) offered for $12.95 per month and an HBO Digital Group plus a Cinemax Digital Group offered for $19.50 per month. For more information on services and rates, please see the Feasibilty Study section of business plan.

B. Incumbent Cable Television Service Provider – AT&T

1. Office Review The AT&T office is located at 1101 East Roosevelt Road, Wheaton, Illinois. Although the office appeared to have four CSR stations, it was only staffed with one customer service representative (“CSR”) who was positioned at the front counter.

2. Rate and programming Information

Confidential Page 51. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

While rates vary slightly by franchise or service area, in Geneva, AT&T is providing a Basic Service Tier of thirty one (31) channels for $15.79 per month, an Expanded Basic Service Tier of fifty-five (55) channels for $19.69 per month. This equals a total of eighty six channels (86) for the Full Basic Service for $35.48 per month, excluding franchise fees and taxes. In addition, AT&T offers HBO, Showtime, The Movie Channel, and Cinemax for $12.99, and Starz! & Encore combined for $10.99 per month (only available when purchased with a digital subscription).

AT&T also provides five (5) Digital Service Packages that include the

following: Digital Starter (requires subscription to expanded) for $6.99 per month, Digital Basic for $12.00 per month, Digital Bronze Package for $44.99 per month, Digital Silver Package for $52.99 per month, Digital Gold Package for $62.99 per month, and Digital Platinum Package for $76.99 per month.

3. Technical Review AT&T’s Geneva system is currently operating at 550 MHz. The AT&T system includes a fiber backbone to reduce amplifier cascade and to improve end-of-line signal performance. Scientific-Atlanta amplifiers are used in the system. Most of the coaxial cable is jacketed and the trunk lines are ¾ inch with distribution lines being ½ inch coaxial cable. Overall, the cable plant is in decent condition. VII. RATES IN COMPETITIVE BROADBAND MARKETS

The average monthly rate charged by cable television operators facing effective competition was $27.15 and $28.71 as of July 1, 1997 and 1998, respectively, ($0.55 and $0.57 on a per channel basis). For those not facing effective competition, the average monthly rate was $28.56 and $30.53, respectively, during the same time period ($0.64 and $0.65 on a per channel basis). This represents a differential of 5.2% and 6.3%, respectively, in average monthly rates between the competitive and the noncompetitive. Further, the average monthly rates charged by systems facing head-to-head competition was 14% less than the average monthly rate charged by noncompetitive systems. Average monthly rates charged by competitive operators rose by 6.8% during the 12 months ending July 1, 1997 and 5.8% during the 12 months ending July 1, 1998. Per channel rates decreased by 5.2% in 1997 and increased by 3.6%

United Telesystems, Inc.

as of July 1, 1998. During the same time periods, the average monthly rates charged by noncompetitive operators rose by 8.9% and 6.9%, respectively. Per channel rates of noncompetitive operators rose by 3.2% and 1.6%, respectively. As a result, average monthly rates and per channel rates as well as the rate of increase in rates is greater for the noncompetitive group than for the competitive group. However, the pace of those increases slowed in 1998. The Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) published by the FCC of Labor Statistics (“BLS”) is another valuable source of information on cable industry prices. For the same time periods, the cable services segment of the CPI (“Cable CPI”) grew by 7.5% and by 6.7% respectively. The Cable CPI, however, includes the prices charged for premium services such as a la carte and pay-per-view channels as well as installation charges, which are not included in the calculation of average monthly rates set forth in this section. The overall CPI, which is also published by the BLS, grew by 2.2% and 1.7%, respectively, during the years ending 1997 and 1998.

Both competitive and noncompetitive operators attribute most of their rate increases to increases in programming costs, inflation, channel additions and system upgrades. Both groups also attribute significant portions of their rate increases to increases in non-defined “other” expenses. Both competitive and noncompetitive operators have continued to increase the number of channels provided to their subscribers which means that the quantity of service received by subscribers has changed over time. By 1999, almost 50% of cable operators surveyed had increased their systems’ capacity to 550 MHz or more. This typically has resulted in additional channels of service and may result in improved signal reliability. The competitive group reported a 1.5% increase and the noncompetitive group a 4.6% increase, in the average number of channels provided for the 12 months ending 1998. This brought the competitive group to an average of 54 channels and the noncompetitive group to an average of 50.1 channels as of 1998. Per channel rates increased for both groups, but by a rate of increase that was lower than the increase in unadjusted average monthly rates. For the competitive group, per channel rates increased by 3.6% (from $0.55 to $0.57) and for the noncompetitive group by 1.6% (from $0.64 to $0.65) during the year ending 1998.

Operators in the competitive and noncompetitive groups report that they offered 41 and 38 satellite channels, respectively, as of 1998, and that about 75% of those channels for both groups are devoted to general entertainment programming with the remaining 25% distributed among children’s, news, and

Confidential Page 53. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

sports programming. Rates per satellite channel increased by 0.1% for the competitive group and declined by 2.2% for the noncompetitive group for the year ending 1998. A 1998 survey requesting information on the provision of digital services found that of 444 responses to a question on the availability of digital tiers, 128 operators (or 29%) offered that service. Of 709 responses to a question about Internet access, 137 operators (or 19%) reported that they offered Internet access service, and of the 678 responses to a question about telephony service, 25 operators (or 4%) report that they offered telephony service as of 1998. VIII. OPERATING PLAN

The headend and offices facilities should be located in an easily accessible location near the center of the proposed Geneva service area. Utilizing existing land and office facilities could potentially reduce initial capital costs. Cross-training existing employees to handle broadband services-type duties could also save operating costs. A communications tower, earth stations and headend facility will be required to be erected on the chosen headend site. The area of the headend facility housing electronics should be a secure and climate controlled area of at least 2,000 sq. ft. Office space will also be required to accommodate management, technical support, computer operations, sales, engineering, and customer service. Prior to commencing with system construction, qualified candidates will need to be interviewed with the position of technical manager filled to develop the broadband system. To the greatest extent possible, the local labor force should be utilized as a resource to hire employees for entry-level positions such as customer service, sales and installations. Established suppliers of broadband products to the industry should be relied upon for system materials and labor. Price should not be the only factor taken into consideration in determining the best products to utilize in constructing the network. Companies like Scientific-Atlanta, General Instruments, Nortel, Lucent, Power & Telephone, ADC, and ANTEC have a long history of providing good products and service to the telecommunications industry. Proper procedures should be used to evaluate vendors and contractors for the construction of the network. IX. FINANCIAL PLAN

Confidential Page 54. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

To ensure that the financial plan included as part of the Feasibility Study remains conservative in all respects, the financial projections (the “Projections”) contained herein are based upon the assumption that the system will be operated without reliance upon any existing “City” infrastructure. The Projections incorporate assumptions based upon more specifically: (a) service pricing, packaging and experience in similar markets; (b) experience with similar technologies and system architectures; (c) hands-on experience in constructing and operating similar systems; (d) equipment pricing and availability recently negotiated and experienced with vendors; and (e) agreements recently negotiated with associated service providers. Further, the Projections utilize a proprietary three hundred fifty (“350”) page model which has been developed over the past fifteen (15) years. The model has been utilized to assess and finance numerous projects similar to the one being pursued by the City. The financial projections and other statements made in the Feasibility Study are forward-looking statements which are based upon significant assumptions and subjective judgments believed to be reasonable as of the date of the Feasibility Study. The financial projections assume that the City will be able to reach an average video services market penetration level sufficient to cover operating expenses within 24 months from the date financing is closed. X. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS If managed properly, the operation of the Broadband Network should complement the operations of the City’s core utility businesses. The Broadband Network’s potential to provide enhanced telecommunications services and utilization for certain utility and municipal based services such as utility management, distance learning and traffic control will provide direct benefits to existing operations. Overall, the operation of the Broadband Network will also bring the benefits of competition to the Geneva market. The construction of a competitive broadband telecommunications infrastructure is likely to enhance the economic development of the Geneva area while serving to strengthen relationships with existing commercial and residential customers. Technically advanced telecommunications networks are fast becoming as vital to a community’s economic development and growth as other forms of infrastructure such as land, buildings, roads and utilities.

XI. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is the first overhaul of Federal telecommunications law in the U.S. in almost 62 years. The goal of this new law is to open up all telecommunications markets to competition and to let anyone enter any communications business in any market against each other. The FCC has been given the task of further defining and implementing this new law. They are seeking to implement plans to open up local phone markets, increase competition in long distance, and further competition in all areas of telecommunications, including video programming and data services. A more exhaustive review of the effects of The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act ("SHVIA"), and The Telecommunications Act of 1996 can be found in the “Legal Review” section of this Broadband Business Plan XII. RISK ASSESSMENT

The profitability of this venture is highly dependent upon achieving enough market-share to support the capital investment in the infrastructure. The financial projections included herein as part of this Feasibility Study include numerous assumptions, such as achieving certain service penetration levels for the broadband services set forth at suggested rates. If penetration levels are substantially lower than the projected percentages, then additional cash reserves will be necessary to cover operating losses and debt financing. As in other industries, technical obsolescence will always remain a concern in the telecommunications industry. Deploying the Broadband Network utilizing the most advanced technology feasibly available will help ensure that the Broadband Network will have a viable life span long enough to recover the capital investment. The equipment and architecture of the Broadband Network recommended in this Feasibility Study utilize the most advanced proven telecommunications technology available. The life span of the fiber and coaxial cables are in excess of 20 years. As new network enhancements are developed, it is likely that the Broadband Network will require upgrading to keep pace with changes in technology and to take advantage of new business opportunity.

Historically, cable television companies have often elected to aggressively oppose municipal entities seeking to provide video, data, or telecommunications services in direct competition with private enterprise. Incumbent service providers

Confidential Page 56. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

frequently seek to delay or prevent competition through legal and/or legislative actions. It is likely that incumbent service providers may also elect to upgrade systems and adjust service rates in an attempt to decrease the effects of competition. Should the City elect to proceed, these factors should be taken into consideration and should be anticipated.

1 Includes advanced analog, digital video, high-speed data, cable telephony, interactive services, and games. 2 Cash flow and its proxies (e.g., EBITDA) are often used to value the operations of a communications firm without regard to the firm's capital structure. Cash flow from operations is the net result of cash inflows from operations (revenue) and cash outflows from operations (expenses), thus ignoring non-cash charges to net income such as depreciation and amortization. Cash flow from operations indicates a firm's ability to meet its net finance and investment obligations.

Notes: (i) Some numbers have been rounded. (ii) The total number of MVPD households is likely to be somewhat less than the given figure since some

households subscribe to the services of more than one MVPD. See 1994 Report, 9 FCC Rcd at 7480. However, the number of households subscribing to more than one MVPD is expected to be low. Hence the given total can be seen as a reasonable estimate of the number of MVPD households.

(iii) The decline in OVS subscribers since 1998 reflects the conversion of portions of some OVS systems to franchised cable systems over the last three years.

MSO subscriber totals as of June 2001, and reported in Top Cable System Operators as of June 2001, Kagan World Media, Cable TV Investor, August 29, 2001, at 12-13. There is no double counting of subscribers. If a cable operator is partially owned by more than one MSO, its subscribers are assigned to the largest MSO. Subscribers for DirecTV and EchoStar are based on SkyReport.com at http://www.skyreport.com/dth_us.htm.

The total number of MVPD subscribers used to calculate the HHI is 88,310,074 from

TABLE B-1.

The HHI is calculated on the basis of market shares for the top 60 companies. Because all of the remaining MVPDs have very small shares of the market, an HHI calculation that included all cable system operators could only be slightly higher (no more than 2-3 points) than the given HHI.

CITY OF GENEVA, ILLINOIS BROADBAND NETWORK INITIATIVE

HEADEND LEASE AND SYSTEM MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY SEPTEMBER 20, 2002

I. GENERAL

The city of Geneva, Illinois (the “City”) has an opportunity to partner with neighboring municipal service providers to develop and operate its broadband network as set forth in the draft of the following management agreement. United Telesystems, Inc. (“UTI”) has previously supported similar arrangements, bringing as many as four (4) municipal clients together to operate their systems jointly through a common headend facility along with participating in an arrangement whereby certain operating expenses associated with common elements such as technical support and customer service are shared among the various entities.

II. THE HEADEND

Should such an arrangement be pulled together between the City and

neighboring municipal service providers, the networks would be operated through the established municipal service providers “headend” facility in one of the communities via a fiber optic link. The headend is the technological center of the system, where many programming operations and functions are processed, such as the reception of satellite delivered programming and broadcast signals. It includes facilities for descrambling incoming signals from satellite and broadcast programming networks, assigning them channel numbers, and processing them for retransmission over broadband lines. The headend also contains electronic equipment for inserting advertising at the local level, encrypting signals for security purposes, and playing or producing public access/local origination programming. Should the City elect to enter into an arrangement with municipal service providers to gain access to the municipal service providers headend, the City can expect to save up to a pro rata percentage of the capital costs currently budgeted in anticipation of the City establishing a stand alone, single system headend facility. III. SYSTEM OPERATIONS

Confidential Page 2. 9/20/02

Municipal service providers could also share valuable engineering,

design, and construction support information and services should the City elect to move forward to construct and operate a broadband network. The attached management agreement sets for a framework around which the City and municipal service providers may work to accomplish this objective. By working out such an arrangement with municipal service providers, the City may position itself to further conserve capital and to operation more efficiently through the sharing of common resources.

THE CITY OF GENEVA, ILLINOIS BROADBAND NETWORK INITIATIVE

QUALIFYING STATEMENTS & PLAN OF FINANCING SEPTEMBER 20, 2002

I. QUALIFYING STATEMENTS This Business Plan and associated financial projections were prepared under the assumption that the construction and operation of the broadband network (the “Broadband Network”) and associated business would be developed by the City of Geneva, Illinois (the “City”) through the issuance of revenue bonds in conjunction with the City of Geneva with a general obligation pledge from the City of Geneva, Illinois. No consideration has been given in the Business Plan to possible operating expense or capital cost savings realized through the utilization of existing resources. The implementation of the plan as set forth in the Business Plan anticipates that the broadband services division of the City will operate on a “stand alone” basis and, therefore, the Business Plan does not contemplate that the project will have any impact on existing utility department resources.

The development of a Broadband Network by the City as contemplated by this Business Plan has been deemed feasible based upon the assumptions set forth. The Business Plan and associated financial projections represent a plan, which by design, is intended to be conservative in all respects. For example, expense items such as franchise fees and pole attachment rental are shown as being paid. It is likely that existing resources can be integrated into the operation of the Broadband Network to reduce capital expenditures and operating expenses. The ultimate feasibility of the project, should it be undertaken by the City, will be dependent upon the City ability to: (a) construct and operate the Broadband Network within the capital and operating budgets set forth; and (b) achieve service penetration for the broadband services set forth at suggested rates levels sufficient to support the capital investment in the infrastructure and associated operating expenses. If service penetration levels are substantially lower than the projected percentages in the Business Plan, then additional cash reserves will be necessary to cover operating losses and debt financing.

As in other industries, technical obsolescence will always remain a concern in the broadband services industry. Deploying the Broadband

Confidential Page 1. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Network utilizing the most advanced technology feasibly available will help insure that the Broadband Network will have a viable life span long enough to recover the capital investment. The equipment and architecture of the Broadband Network recommended in this Feasibility Study utilize the most advanced proven telecommunications technology available. The life spans of fiber optic cables are in excess of 20 years. As new network enhancements are developed, it is likely that the Broadband Network will require upgrading to keep pace with changes in technology and to take advantage of new business opportunity.

Historically, incumbent service providers have often elected to aggressively oppose municipal entities seeking to provide video, data, or telecommunications services in direct competition with private enterprise. Incumbent service providers frequently seek to delay or prevent competition through legal and/or legislative actions. It is likely that incumbent service providers may also elect to upgrade systems and adjust service rates in an attempt to decrease the effects of competition. Should the City elect to proceed, these factors should be taken into consideration and should be anticipated. II. PLAN OF FINANCING

A. General Overview The Business Plan capital and operating budgets include: (a) labor, materials, and equipment capital costs associated with the deployment of the Network based upon the level of service to be provided as determined by an assessment of the Geneva Service Area; (b) revenue projections based upon recommended service offerings and proposed rates; and (c) an operating budget including marketing expenses, technical expenses, general and administrative expenses, and service related recurring expenses.

The Financial Projections in the Business Plan anticipate that the Broadband Network will be capitalized through the issuance of revenue bonds as allowed under Illinois law. The cost of issuance, insurance and net interest cost projected are estimated based upon recent interest rates and associated costs incurred in bond issues closed for similar projects. Issuance costs could vary and interest rates are subject to frequent changes based upon market conditions.

Confidential Page 2. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

The Business Plan anticipates that start-up capital for the project will

be drawn from existing cash reserves and then repaid from the proceeds of the tax-exempt revenue bonds issued by the City. The Business Plan anticipates that all start-up expenses associated with the development of the Broadband Network incurred ninety (90) days prior to the passage of a reimbursement resolution by the City calling for the issuance of tax-exempt revenue bonds to finance the project will be repaid to the City. It is anticipated that the operation of the Broadband Network will have no impact on the City of Geneva’s general fund or taxpayers.

B. Plan of Financing Overview

The Business Plan assumes that the City will issue non-taxable municipal revenue bonds to capitalize the construction of the proposed broadband network. The Business Plan anticipates that the revenue bonds will be secured by a general obligation pledge by the City of Geneva and the assets of the broadband network and the revenues of the project.

C. Revenue Bond Issue Sources and Uses Statement

The following Revenue Bond Issue Sources and Uses Statement sets forth the details of revenue bonds to be issued by the City to capitalize the Broadband Network infrastructure as contemplated in the Business Plan Financial Projections. A significant and sufficient amount of detail required to evaluate the financial feasibility of the project can be found in the Business Plan Financial Projections.

Should the City elect to proceed with the implementation of the Business Plan, it is anticipated that the City will research financing options, the final terms of which, can then be incorporated in the financial projections included as part of this Business Plan. The terms of financing included as part of the Financial Projections were derived from the terms of tax-exempt revenue bonds issued currently planned by other clients of UTI implementing similar plans.

United Telesystems, Inc.

Confidential Page 4. 9/20/02

D. Revenue Bond Debt Service Schedule

A revenue bond debt service schedule follows. The debt service schedule assumes an interest only period during the construction period of three (3) years as allowed under applicable Illinois statutes, interest capitalized in the proceeds of the bond issue for two (2) years, and an amortization period of fifteen (15) years, beginning in year four (4). The debt service schedule also assumes a net interest cost of 4.75% based upon general obligation pledge by the City of Geneva. As stated previously, interest rates change frequently and are subject to market conditions.

CITY OF GENEVA, ILLINOIS BROADBAND NETWORK INITIATIVE

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIVE & UTILITY APPLICATIONS

SEPTEMBER 20, 2002

I. OVERVIEW

A. GENERAL

As part of the overall communications infrastructure plan that utilizes the Broadband Network to increase utility operational efficiency and provide a platform for future services, it is important to take note of the infrastructure’s capacity to potentially provide the City of Geneva (the “City”) with a cost-effective and flexible utility automation system solution. In much of the information provided in this section the value of the application is not only seen and quantified by the City but also by the consumer. Several vendors are currently developing and marketing utility automation solutions to utility service providers. While complete and detailed information specific to any one solution and or vendor is not incorporated in this Business Plan, the foregoing represents capabilities that would be requested at the time proposals are solicited.

The proposed Broadband Network can serve as a primary or secondary communications path to provide connectivity for the new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) system. The Broadband Network is also capable of supporting the management and information needs of other city utilities such as water, sewage, and gas. Enhanced services for electric service providers, facilitated by the Broadband Network, should also be considered.

United Telesystems, Inc. (“UTI”) has attached an energy management

services capital budget and operating financial projections associated with providing the energy management related function of load management capability to customers for a monthly fee along with remote electric service connect/disconnect and projected operating cost savings to the City associated with having this capability. The equipment used as an assumption in the energy management financial projections is manufactured by muNet, Inc. Information about muNet, Inc. is also attached.

B. THE ALL FIBER BROADBAND PLATFORM

The fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) Broadband Network can be utilized as a cost-effective and efficient platform to respond to the increasing need for utility systems operational efficiency and information flow. The FTTH network is entirely utility non-application specific, meaning no special modifications are required to facilitate utility applications. The architecture consists of a number of fiber optic transmitters and receivers that receive and convert optical signals to electrical signals at the customer premise. Side-of-the-home gateways can be connected for the final link to the utility application end use devices such as an electric or water meter and home user interface.

The side-of-the-home gateway provides data communications from the broadband Wide Area Network (“WAN”) to the home Local Area Network (“LAN”). It is designed to facilitate communication between the utility host and residential devices such as an electric meter, water meter, or home user interface. Gateways being introduced by various vendors support utility operational applications such as automatic meter reading, service connect/disconnect, tamper detection, and in-home applications such as customer-controlled load management (sometimes referred to as “Demand Response”) and real-time pricing.

If more interaction or additional applications are required such as messaging, display of billing information, or home security services, multiple user interfaces may be supported with the addition of application host software. Various manufacturers can provide additional information on those types of user interfaces. Also, the deployment of a customized "utility" channel to display information such as billing or historical data over a customer's television set may be considered in the future. II. APPLICATIONS

A. O&M OF ELECTRIC SYSTEM

The proposed Broadband Network could provide a communications

path for SCADA needs. Highly reliable, high capacity broadband communications capability could be provided for electric system operations and maintenance. A likely alternative may use a mix of communications between the radio and FTTH systems. Existing radio network may remain

Confidential Page 2. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

the primary means of SCADA connectivity, with the broadband network being used to augment communications in areas where problems with communications links have been, or may be, encountered. Where wider monitoring coverage is desired, the broadband network may transport signals to the Master or to another point in the SCADA network.

Real time information on parameters such as voltage, amperage, power-quality and breaker status gives system operators a true picture of the condition of their system. Remote control of substation devices such as breakers and voltage regulators, along with distribution automation improves customer satisfaction by reducing outage times and by maintaining good power quality as system conditions change.

Another application for the Broadband Network would be to extend

SCADA functionality from the substation out to distribution feeders. Distribution SCADA technology is commonly associated with communications between a dispatch center and substations, while Distribution Automation (“DA”) technology is commonly associated with extending control functions beyond the substation into the distribution network providing electric service. The Broadband Network could provide connectivity supporting DA signals. Capacitor banks located on feeders around the system and DA controls could be accessed through the Broadband Network through a control device that could be placed at that site to provide connectivity and control for the capacitor bank. Similar configurations could serve gang operated switches located on the electric distribution system.

B. MAINTAINING SUCCESSFUL C&I CUSTOMERS

Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) customers with high annual load factors, sometimes exceeding 80%, justify special attention and warrant the highest possible level of service. The Broadband Network currently under consideration offers new service opportunities for these valuable customers. Wide area networking between C&I customers in the community would be possible. High speed Internet access could further serve to support their business needs. Packaging telecommunications services with electric service could further enhance relationships with C&I customers and increase customer affinity.

Confidential Page 3. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Expanding the use of SCADA, in conjunction with broadband connectivity would facilitate enhanced electric services for these customers. Metering information could be relayed to utility headquarters at the same time that it is passed on to the customer. Additional customer premise equipment could monitor surges and sags enabling power quality problems to be more quickly identified and resolved. Automatic outage detection could reduce outage times. After advanced energy services have been offered and implemented for select C&I customers, the experience gained could be used to extend value-added services to other C&I customers as well as reaching the residential customer base.

C. REVENUES FROM OTHER ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION SUPPLIERS

An opportunity for the City may exist in providing enhanced energy

management (EEM) and SCADA support services to electric distribution suppliers using the proposed Broadband Network infrastructure. A point-to-point fiber cable run to additional connectivity points could be incorporated in the overall broadband system design. Leadership in SCADA technology and the vision of offering video, Internet and telephony combine to also create the possibility to offer services in neighboring communities as well as to existing customers.

D. AUTOMATIC METER READING

The Broadband Network presents an opportunity for the City to remotely read utility meters for the City services, as well as for those services provided by others. It is even feasible that a wireless technology could be used to extend remote metering capability into an even wider area, using the broadband network for connectivity to the operations center. When considering an upgrade to automatic meter reading, benefits for certain customer groups should be considered. These groups include: “high value” commercial and industrial; restricted access meter sites; sites with high occupancy turnover and sites where security may be an issue. Aging meters, that need replacement may also help justify investment to update and upgrade to meters with new technology that have automatic meter reading capability.

A utility automation system should be designed to accommodate interactive energy service applications provided by various vendors. Each

Confidential Page 4. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

meter module should count and deliver kWh and kW for single-phase meters. The system should also be able to store meter readings for at least four different levels so as to support real-time pricing. The application/database should be capable of: (1) reading a single meter on demand from the user, (2) storing all meter data for a large population of meters, (3) integrating demand readings into user-defined intervals as low as one minute, (4) creating standardized and custom reports with an integral report generator, (5) providing networking support for high-speed data transfer to authorized users, both inside and outside the utility, to facilitate billing and other CIS functions, and (6) supporting add-on modules for gas and water meter reading.

Following are specific benefits potentially derived from the incorporation of AMR into the operation of a Broadband Network:

1. AMR would allow daily reads for Industrial Customers. Readings could then be posted on the Internet to allow customer load profiling abilities.

2. The City could use strategically located meters to report outages.

Tying in the monitoring of these meters with SCADA would allow more efficient use of utility crews.

3. The residential application of AMR could reduce service orders by

allowing auto read for successor type orders, also soft connects and disconnects. Typically, orders have been reduced by as much as 80% as an industry standard.

4. Billing complaints could be handled more efficiently with AMR. Load

profiling ability could be enabled and disabled via the Broadband Network to create usage charts to explain customer's bill.

5. Power Quality problems (such as voltage flicker) could be analyzed

remotely thereby reducing the manpower required to hook up equipment on site. These problems could be detected before the customer calls, adding to the level of service quality offered by The City.

6. Power theft could be detected quickly, allowing more efficient use of

revenue protection workers. Simply turning the meter over would not

Confidential Page 5. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

cause lost revenue.

7. The amount of inaccurate meter reads and can't-reads would be reduced or eliminated (with full scale implementation), thus reducing the delay in billing and the cost to re-read a meter or estimate a bill.

The City may be able to generate additional revenue streams by

providing meter-reading services to other utilities. Many electric and water systems use leased phone lines to communicate with facilities in their service areas. These sites include facilities such as substations, treatment plants and pumping stations. In a like manner, natural gas systems typically lease phone lines to monitor points in their gas distribution system. Recurring monthly fees are typically paid to local exchange carriers to reach each site. It is likely that an enhanced SCADA system will have the functional requirements and the capacity to satisfy water, gas, and electric system monitoring needs.

Accounting for the cost saving associated with remote meter reading could hasten the point in time when a fully automated system to read all utility meters could be justified. Water and gas utility sites could be referenced together with the electric system and the routing for the proposed broadband network. Connectivity to their facilities should be provided using the most economical and reliable solution.

E. LOAD CONTROL

Customer–controlled load management is a fairly new form of load management. This program allows the consumer to have more control over their energy consumption by enabling them to program appliances and adjust energy consumption based on the cost of energy. This process entails the installation of a device at the customer site with the device receiving signals notifying it of new pricing. For the utility, this form of load management provides a more efficient and cost-effective means of utilizing existing power capacity, rather than increasing capacity through capital purchases. Both the consumer and the utility could benefit from the addition of this program.

Load control modules and applications software should enable both

utility direct load control and customer-controlled load management (Demand Response). The control units should accept alternative incoming

Confidential Page 6. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

communications mediums (such as LonWorks and CEBus powerline carrier or two-way UHF signals) to carry the appropriate load control protocols. This devise should also be able to send information back to a network controller about the switch, including all or partial contents of the switch's memory. The device should be able to confirm the switch's status, i.e. load(s) presently on or off, as well as the receipt and execution of a load control command from a master station application. All individual relay functions of the switch should be monitored.

The platforms should be enhanced to send these commands, receive the data, and present and store the data under real-time and off-line report generators. Residential and commercial users could directly control their load switches through a local user interface, as would be appropriate in a real-time pricing or time-of-use rate scenarios. The City may perform these functions remotely for the user's benefit in exchange for a service fee.

F. REAL-TIME PRICING (RTP)

Real-time pricing occurs when a utility charges the customer based on its cost to supply energy at any given time. By using load control devices, such as programmable thermostats, the consumer can specify a different temperature in response to the cost of energy to gain maximum benefit from electric utility pricing programs. Agents embedded in home energy products could monitor indoor and outdoor conditions and the market price of energy to adjust local consumption based on consumer instructions/preferences given to it.

Real-time pricing user interfaces for home energy management

systems are available from various manufacturers. The application should relay the rate change to appropriate gateways and meter modules and then report back the current meter reading (which may include both kWh and kW data) and begin recording pulses in the new rate level's register. Once the RTP/AMR application receives the meter reading from the prior level, it can compare this reading to the last reading and calculate a consumption figure for that level. The RTP/AMR application will be responsible for routing the master database of meter readings and billing data.

G. OUTAGE DETECTION

Outage detection sensing and reporting could also be incorporated in

Confidential Page 7. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

the Broadband Network. A network controller should identify actual “outages” when a gateway fails to respond to a poll. When a gateway fails to respond, or when it has re-established communications, a message is sent to the outage-processing platform. Outage information will be processed and relayed. The platform will translate the system address to a phone number through a cross-reference table, so that existing third party platforms can monitor outages reported by either telephone or gateway-based sensors.

Outage detection services can also bring value to the utility via its

usage by the consumer. Communities of networked agents could be used to detect power outages and signals each other to effect a correction of the outage. Power switching agents could respond to alarms from home- or substation based agents to re-route power distribution in the regional or local grid.

H. TAMPER DETECTION

Tampering with the meter or the gateway will be sensed by any removal or disconnection of the utility meter(s). This should set a flag in the gateway memory that the event occurred. When polled by a network controller, the gateway will pass this information on for display, alarming and logging. The application will also be responsible for notifying the utility user that some sort of breach has occurred while also logging the date/time of the event.

I. REMOTE SERVICE DISCONNECT

A whole house disconnect device could be an integral part of the gateway packaging. The breaker will incorporate a hard-wired link to the gateway, where only a driver circuit is required to open or close the breaker. With the proper signal from the master station, the device will disconnect or reconnect power to the home or business. If the meter is equipped with an AMR module, the meter should be read after power has been disconnected and the reading sent back to the AMR application. At power restoration, the meter will be read before the contactor allows power to flow to the home or business.

J. UTILITY AND CITY SECURITY

Confidential Page 8. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

The events of September 11, 2001, have prompted a renewed interest in issues related to maintaining and strengthening our critical infrastructure. Numerous federal agencies - the Department of Energy (DOE), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), and electric industry officials are taking a careful look at the security of our transmission grid and electric generation facilities.

On a local level, the events of September 11 also hit hard as the reality of unsecured city and utility facilities has become a more prevalent issue. On the night of September 11 many utilities posted trained guards in and around their facilities. This proved to be the acknowledgement that utility security – like airport security – may have some serious holes that need patching. The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) offers a plan for protecting the assets of the electricity sector. This plan has 11 components, one of which refers to physical security of the plant. Telecommunications infrastructure is noted as not only a portion of the infrastructure to be secured, but as a tool to assist in maintaining a secure electric distribution system.

III. CASE STUDIES

1. Customer Controlled Load-Management (Demand Response) a. Scottsboro Electric Plant Board (SEPB), AL, 750 Mhz, fiber-

coax system installed in 1999. Testing muNet and Inter-Wave Inc. for AMR and other services; remote connect/disconnect, tamper detection and posting energy information on the Web. Manager, Jimmy Sandlin, reports that this is a way to improve their core business of selling electricity – and then they have another use for the infrastructure as well. Scottsboro sees this service as another way to enhance their image in the eyes of customers who for years only communicated with the utility when being billed or during an outage.

Mr. Sandlin sees this broadband system as an avenue to allow the utility customers an opportunity to manage their own bills by being allowed to schedule their usage of electricity with time-of-use rates, etc. The SEPB is currently engaged with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to run a pilot project to 25 residents homes where in which the residents would have such control over their utility consumption and hence their monthly bill. A goal of this project is to prove the economics of the

Confidential Page 9. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

investment.

b. Northeast Utilities, Hartford, CT, this utility is testing load curtailment with 50 residential customers using WebGate equipment. Customers can adjust or turn thermostats and hot water heaters on or off. Dave Scott, manager of meter engineering and reading for Northeast, points out that the State commissions recognize problems in California energy markets and realize that the same thing can happen in New England as well. “If we prepare for it and have mechanisms in place to allow us to curtail a load before it gets to be in a critical state like California, then we’re better off. The commissions are encouraging the distribution companies to develop programs to provide customers with that type of control”, said Mr. Scott.

2. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)

a. Glasgow Electric Plant Board, KY, has been testing AMR systems for many years. Currently (2002) they are testing AMR via Internet protocol using the WebGate IRIS gateway device to 25 utility employees. The WebGate gateway is one vendor’s answer to providing two-way communication between customer and utility, and can be used to offer real-time metering and a host of other services as well. At about $150 per meter, broadband systems are cheaper to install than many other AMR systems.

b. Clark Public Utilities, Vancouver, WA, has been in the process of converting to AMR since August 2001. This process is expected to take nearly a year as there are nearly 150,000 meters. The utility reports that their up-front installation costs are about $12.9 million, but that they'll save about $22.5 million over 10 years, for a net savings after the costs of implementing the system of nearly $10 million. Officials report that the system actually pays for itself in four years. This utility will also have the ability to do remote connects and disconnects saving their staff approximately 9,000 special visits each year for such things as rechecking meter readings, checking for meter tampering, and disconnections of service for lack of payment or because people are moving. Also, other utilities with this type of system report reductions in the amount of

Confidential Page 10. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

power theft.

3. Remote Connect and Disconnect a. Tacoma Power and The Click! Network, WA, is currently

testing remote connect/disconnect of electricity, Internet, and cable services in 10 employee homes. They are testing a variety of vendors solutions at this point. Jon Athow, gateway project manager for Tacoma Power reports that this pilot is part of Tacoma Power’s vision to connect its electric and Click! Telecommunications systems at the customer site.

4. Value Added Services

a. Newnan Utilities, GA, began offering cable and high-speed internet service in 1997. It has 4,700 broadband customers who are eligible to sign up for the new remotely controlled home automation service branded as “nuHome”. nuHome provides a simple and complete home management solution for consumers interested in conserving energy, controlling devices and communicating with family members – from anywhere in the world. This service is only available to customers who subscribe to Newnan’s Internet service. From any cell phone (enabled with the standard text messaging feature) or web browser, the customer can access their home through the nuHome automation service. This monthly service uses the customers standard home PC, Newnan’s Internet service, and a few simple devices the customer plugs in.

The packages range from $15 to $30 with the basic package including remote control of two lamps and a light switch or one lamp, a light switch and an appliance. Another package includes two lamps and light switches, one appliance and a camera or thermostat control. Newnan began offering this service in January of 2002.

IV. SUMMARY

Confidential Page 11. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Confidential Page 12. 9/20/02

Deregulation of the electric utility industry will eventually lead to customer choice. The customer’s selection of a power supplier will be based, in large part, on price and service. Electricity will become even more of a commodity than it is today. Electricity cannot be seen or touched. It is odorless and tasteless. It can only be stored in small quantities. The product itself is hard to differentiate between various suppliers. High quality electric service, bundled with other attractive services, will differentiate successful utilities from their competitors. Progressive change today will strengthen competitive position tomorrow for utilities willing to undertake new ventures. A lack of progressive action today will increase future business risks.

In addition to video, data/Internet, and telecommunications services,

constructing and operating a broadband network in the City creates opportunities to offer several value-added services for the City delivered services and to utility service providers. Energy management, automatic meter reading, SCADA, power quality, Internet and wide-area networking all become more likely candidates to bundle with the core business of selling utility services.

It is possible that sites, in or near the City, could benefit from real-time monitoring and control. Such sites include: water utility points, gas utility points, capacitor banks, industrial sites, line re-closures and gang operated switches. Communications with additional sites would provide operational benefits, more revenue and increase customer satisfaction. The Broadband Network may provide the best connectivity solution for some of these sites. Regardless of the communications medium used, a closer evaluation of these opportunities should be undertaken to incorporate them in the City’s overall communications business plan.

Electric rates to end-use customers may preclude investment in load management devices for all but a few industrial customers with demand charges. If and when power costs increase, and corresponding rate structures change to a threshold that justifies wide use of energy management services, the City will be in a strong competitive position. By leveraging load patterns and SCADA capabilities in concert with a broadband network’s automatic meter reading capabilities, the ability to retain and attract electric customers in a competitive market will be greatly strengthened.

I. GENERAL

In order to ensure the success of the proposed business plan, a detailed strategy for the development of the fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) system must be adhered to in order to meet the subscriber penetration and revenue goals projected in this business plan. Failure to follow a proven strategy for deployment of the FTTH system can drastically affect the success of this project. The following sections address some of the major strategic decisions for the development of a successful FTTH system. II. HEADEND AND CENTRAL OFFICE FACILITY

One of the first strategic decisions will be the location of the headend/central office facility. The headend/central office facility is the heart of the FTTH system and must be strategically located based upon several criteria. Although it is not a technical requirement with the advantages provided through the utilization of fiber optics, if possible, the headend/central office facility should be located in the geographic center of the service area. This will serve to improve operating efficiencies with reducing the capital cost of plant constructed to serve outlying areas.

Based upon past experience, whenever possible, it is best to locate the headend/central office facility at the same location as the FTTH operations office. A tower, earth station and headend building will require at least one acre of land that is zoned for this type of use. A tower with a height of about 200 ft. is typical, headend building space requirements are about 2,500 sq. ft. for a smaller system, a clear southwestern view is required for the location of the earth station, warehouse facilities are needed during the construction period of the FTTH system and office space will be needed for customer service and technical personnel.

Various approaches have worked for United Telesystems, Inc. clients in the

United Telesystems, Inc.

past. One is to construct a totally separate headend, warehouse and office facility for the entire operation. Another is to locate the headend, tower and earth station near existing facilities and incorporate this new business into the existing facilities and operations. If planned and implemented properly, both options have proven to be efficient. III. ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION PLANNING

One of the first steps in the development of the system is to define a feasible service area. While this study includes a general ride out of the service area with estimated plant miles and potential customers passed, a more detailed walk out of the service area is required as a foundation for the FTTH system design. Therefore, UTI recommends that a company be hired to do a complete walk out of the service area including all footages required to build the network. Once the walk out or strand mapping has been completed, then a final service area can be determined based upon the density of the service areas mapped. Subsequent to the walk out or strand mapping of the service area, a FTTH design company will develop a detailed design of the broadband network. This includes routing of cables, placing of electronics and power supplies in the system.

Another important strategic step is making the poles ready and underground areas ready for the installation of this new FTTH system. There must be adequate space on poles and in public rights-of-way to accommodate this new system. Permitting with all utility companies, phone companies, cable companies, railroads and transportation departments must be completed before installation of this system can be accomplished. The make ready phase can be a time consuming process so the earlier the make ready and permitting work can be started in the development of the system the better. The construction of the FTTH system can be started once the walkout, system design and a good portion of the make ready work has been completed. IV. FIBER TO THE HOME SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION

Typically construction of the fiber to the home (“FTTH”) network starts at the headend/central office facility and proceeds to each pocket of approximately 96 home service areas that are called Last Mile Cores (“LMCs”). A LMC generally consists of about 96 homes or businesses and two to three miles of constructed plant. Dedicated fiber optic cables are built to the center of the Last Mile Core service area. The fiber optic cable connects to the LMC electronics that distributes

Confidential Page 2. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

signals via fiber optic cable to fiber subscriber distributions units (“taps”) or signals are distributed via fiber optic cable directly to the customer premise from the LMC if a home run FTTH architecture is utilized. A residential or business gateway device is placed at the customer premise to access the fiber optic network. The FTTH network provides video (CATV and digital, including IP streaming), high-speed data and telephony services (IP-based or circuit based) to subscribers with dedicated and on-demand symmetrical data rates of up to 500 Mb/sec, all on a single fiber. The placement of the Last Mile Cores is important since fiber optic cable, electronics and power supplies will be located at or close to this location. It needs to be in an accessible location that fits into the design standards of the network.

In an aerial deployment of plant, the following order is generally followed in constructing the system.

1. Installation of the ¼” strand on the poles. 2. Over lashing of the fiber optic cable(s) on the strand. 3. Installation of the system power supplies to serve the Last Mile Cores.

(“LMCs”) 4. Splicing of the fiber optic cables in the headend facility. 5. Installation of Last Mile Cores (“LMCs”) and Taps including splicing of

fiber optic cables in the plant. 6. Activation of each LMC. 7. Installation of gateways devices at test sites. 8. Certification of the plant. 9. Thirty to sixty day burn in period for equipment.

In an underground deployment of plant, the same order is followed except

the fiber cables are usually all buried at the same time. V. DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY

Initially, a service area must be defined with adequate density to justify the development of a FTTH system. Typically, the city limits of a system is the first area or first phase of a project that is constructed because most franchise agreements with cities require that all the homes passed within the city be eventually serviced by the new FTTH system. In almost all cases, it is not economically feasible to build FTTH plant to every single home in the county. Therefore, a proper deployment strategy is critical to the success of a new

Confidential Page 3. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

competitive FTTH system.

Another factor in defining the initial service area is to determine the number of subscribers required to justify the fixed capital cost needed to develop a competitive broadband system. It might be necessary to construct all the city service area, plus the high-density areas just outside the city limits. Assuming the initial service area is defined, and then we can finalize the business plan to obtain the necessary capital dollars to develop this initial service area. This will be considered the first major phase of deployment of the FTTH system.

Once the system is constructed, activated, tested and is ready for providing service then a marketing deployment strategy is required to roll out the new FTTH services to the community. It has been our experience that the most successful systems use door-to-door sales to each home in the Last Mile Core service areas with the highest density areas first and the nodes that are located closest to the headend facility. Therefore, a ranking of LMC service areas by density and location will be required before launching service to the community. This type of deployment strategy is beneficial for several reasons. Revenue is greater in earlier periods of deployment, it enhances the efficiency of direct sales representative and installation personnel since they are working in the same area and it assists the customer service department to provide exceptional service from day one of launch. Launching FTTH services to the entire community in a mass marketing first come, first serve basis can overload staff and can result in poor subscriber penetration results, poor average subscriber rates and customer dissatisfaction.

Once up to twenty-five Last Mile Core service areas have been thoroughly marketed, results for the entire Phase I of deployment of the FTTH system can be accurately projected. If subscriber and revenue goals are being met, then possibly a Phase II of the deployment into less densely populated areas in the county or a neighboring community can be considered. This strategy can be repeated into additional phases, once the targeted goals in the other phases of deployment are achieved.

Proper planning, implementation, and deployment strategies are essential to the success of a competitive FTTH system. VI. SALES & MARKETING GENERAL OVERVIEW

A. Service Area – The Business Plan anticipates that the City of Geneva, Illinois (“the City”) intends to market video, data and telephone services

Confidential Page 4. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

to potential customers in and around the City service areas (the “Service Area”):

B. Initial Activation Marketing Effort - The Business Plan anticipates that

initial activation sales and marketing effort will be founded on direct sales. The Business Plan does not anticipate that the City will utilize any other form of marketing in newly activated service areas.

C. Direct Sales Strategy – The Business Plan anticipates the City will

implement effective and proven direct sales marketing strategies, which are organized and implemented to maximize video, data and telephone service penetration levels.

D. Direct Sales Policies and Procedures - To accomplish sales objectives,

the Business Plan anticipates that the City will establish certain policies and procedures to provide the foundation for the direct sales subscriber acquisition effort.

VII. THE DIRECT SALES TEAM

A. Sales Representatives - To achieve an average of over 120 targeted

average installations per week as set forth in the Business Plan, the direct sales team should be comprised of approximately 4 to 6 Sales Representatives. The ratio of Sales Representatives to activated homes passed equates to achieving a 38% service penetration level with each Sales Representative averaging approximately 5 sales per day, 5 days per week.

B. Management – The Business Plan anticipates that the following City

management and support personnel will assist in supporting the direct sales subscriber acquisition effort in the Service Area: (1) Sales and Marketing Manager; (2) Office Support Assistant; and (3) Sales Team Leader (possibly a contractor). The direct sales team will be directly supervised by the Sales Team Leader, who will report directly to the Sales and Marketing Manager.

C. Sales Territory Management - The number of activated homes passed

issued to Sales Representative will be increased or reduced based upon service penetration levels. Higher service penetration levels will result in

Confidential Page 5. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

an increase in the sales to contact ratio, which will result in fewer activated homes issued and outstanding to any individual Sales Representative. Lower service penetration levels will result in the result in more activated homes being issued to achieve installation objectives.

D. Contractor Classification - All Sales Representatives will be class

“1099” contractors and will be responsible for expenses directly related to canvassing for customers.

E. Sales Compensation – The Business Plan anticipates that compensation

for contract sales services rendered to the City will be paid on a commission only basis at the gross rate of 1.00 to 1.50 times the first month’s recurring service charge for all video services sold by Sales Representatives and the Team Leader.

F. Commissions Breakdown – The Business Plan anticipates that

approximately 25% to 28% of gross sales commissions should be allocated to sales management and 75% to 72% of gross sales commissions should be allocated to the Sales Representatives.

VIII. GENERAL DIRECT SALES POLICIES AND PROCEEDURES

As part of the subscriber acquisition campaign, each Sales Representative will be required to:

1. Contact all potential customers at each serviceable address issued. 2. Present all levels of service offerings and pricing. 3. Provide an overview of installation procedures. 4. Explain customer billing procedures and pro-ration. 5. Complete work orders for installation and billing. 6. Schedule the installation. 7. Obtain atypical wiring and outlet placement information to

facilitate installations. IX. REPORTING

Daily sales reports, including the following information for the previous day, the current week and to date, should be provided to Geneva management for the first 1,000 homes passed, with weekly reports provided thereafter:

Confidential Page 6. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

1. The total number of activated homes passed that have been issued

to Sales Representatives. 2. Number of potential subscribers contacted. 3. Number of sales, including details of services sold. 4. Number of potential subscribers contacted who declined to

purchase any video services offered. 5. Number of residences or commercial units listed as potential

customers, which were found to be vacant. X. TEAM LEADER RESPONSIBILITIES

The direct sales Team Leader should be responsible for the following:

1. The Team Leader will coordinate field efforts of his or her team with the Sales Manager regarding the issuance of all serviceable homes to be marketed.

2. Immediately following the issuance of a new service area and prior to the assignment of homes to Sales Representatives, the Team Leader will conduct a field survey of the designated service area.

3. Subsequent to conducting the field survey, the Team Leader shall assign territory to Sales Representatives.

4. The Team Leader will review and approve the contact sheets of all Sales Representatives on a daily basis to determine sales to contact percentages which shall serve as a basis for the issuance of new activated homes passed territory.

5. The Team Leader will conduct random calls on a regular basis in serviceable areas previously issued and marketed to maintain quality controls.

6. Upon the completion of sales efforts on each serviceable street, the Team Leader will provide completed contact sheets to the City management, which will become a part of the systems permanent records.

XII. SALES REPRESENTATIVES RESPONSIBILITIES

Sales Representative responsibilities should include the following:

1. Sales Representatives must be available for work every week day

Confidential Page 7. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

and Saturdays, other than recognized holidays. 2. Sales Representatives are to report to their Team Leader to turn in

completed orders and contact sheets on a daily basis. 3. Sales Representatives are required to attend all scheduled sales

meetings. 4. Sales Representatives will derive all customer orders from only

those areas assigned to them. No referrals or orders from unassigned areas will be accepted without the permission of the Team Leader.

5. Sales Representatives are expected to meet established minimum standards of sales performance on a daily and weekly basis.

6. All Sales Representatives must keep a neat and professional appearance in the office and while in the field.

7. Identification badges are to be worn by Sales Representatives in a visible place on the office premises as well as in the field at all times.

XIII. MARKETING GOALS AND METHODS OF MARKETING

The Marketing Plan anticipates that the City will hire outside sales Representatives to market video and data services to potential customers in the Service Area based upon the following marketing goals and methods of marketing: A. Marketing Goals

Achieve 38% penetration of non-subscribers with video service and 25% penetration of data service. Achieve 75% penetration of premium service to basic subscriber base. Utilize telemarketing effort with in-house employees to reach homes where no contact was ever made.

B. METHODS OF MARKETING A. Direct Sales Utilizing door-to-door marketing, homes should be marketed by nodes with contact sheets issued to Sales Representatives giving specific addresses in each node. An effort of 3 times at each door should result in a sale or no sale being made. Addresses of residents that cannot be reached should be compiled and a telemarketing person can attempt to make contact or a direct piece should be sent detailing the sales offer.

Confidential Page 8. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

B. Marketing Offer The marketing offer needs to be bold in a competitive market. Free installation of video and data service; First or second month of video and data service free: Premium services marketed to potential subscribers could be “buy one-get one-free for 30 days” or two free pay-per-view coupons when buying a premium service. C. Direct Mail / Door Hanger Utilize a customized direct mail piece or door hanger to be mailed or left at the door after 3 efforts have been made to each potential subscriber. This piece should state the offer as well as advantages of the City’s services. D. Newspaper Advertising Most premium and pay-per-view service programmers have ad slicks that can be customized and are available for the asking. Ads should be customized with an offer for new subscribers or an offer for premium or pay-per-view services. E. Local Radio Advertising Local radio advertising spots are available through most premium services and pay-per-view services. Customize with offer for premium service specials and pay-per-view services. F. Cross Promotional Insertion Ads Use cross- promotional insertion ads on your allotted advertising spots for efficient and cost-saving advertising. Make strong offers for premium services, data service and pay-per-view services. Ad copy is available through your programming services to reach new subscribers as well as to increase penetration with your premium services and data service. G. Telemarketing Telemarketing can be used to sell, promote, or follow up on your marketing campaign. You may want to use telemarketing on specific target areas and not be too broad. Have a well-rehearsed script and utilize in-house employees to do more promoting and follow up on services sold for this type of marketing.

Confidential Page 9. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Confidential Page 10. 9/20/02

H. Data Service Display Having a data service display available with a full time attendant/sales person that can explain and sale the service is most valuable to market and sale data service. A space should be set up at the office to provide this valuable sales tool.

XIV. CONCLUSION While a well organized and managed direct sales campaign cannot guarantee service penetration levels projected in the Business Plan, it is the one element of the development of a Broadband Network which, if managed poorly, can almost certainly guarantee that adequate projections will not be met. Competitive broadband service providers have one opportunity to sell services to customers at the time of system launch which cannot be repeated or replicated through any subsequent marketing tactics or efforts. This initial opportunity to sell services to customers, therefore, will be extremely vital to the success of the project. The proper implementation of a direct sales campaign should be the cornerstone of the Geneva sales and marketing plan. More traditional forms of marketing can be implemented by the City upon its completion.

CITY OF GENEVA, ILLINOIS BROADBAND NETWORK INITIATIVE

INCUMBENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER OVERVIEW SEPTEMBER 20, 2002

AMERITECH

I. OVERVIEW When considering telecommunications opportunities in Illinois, it is important to consider the operations and strategic objectives of its incumbent provider. Ameritech is a leading telecommunications service provider in the nation and in Illinois. Following is recent information concerning SBC and Ameritech along with the company’s current service offerings. II. GENERAL In October 1999, SBC and Ameritech completed their merger. SBC/Ameritech is a communications services company headquartered in San Antonio, TX, serving nearly 60 million access line equivalents and over 21.6 million wireless customers (Cingular/SBC).

In 1999, as the first post-Ameritech merger initiative, a $6 billion broadband services initiative was announced (Project Pronto). Project Pronto is expected to create a broadband platform that will allow high-speed voice, data and video services to be provided via Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services to approximately 80 percent of SBC’s United States (U.S.) wireline customers. During the third quarter of 2001, due primarily to an adverse and uncertain regulatory environment, SBC began a slowdown of the capital expenditures to build its national broadband network, which includes fiber, electronic and other technology. As of December 31, 2001 it had spent $3.2 billion on Project Pronto and had 1.3 million DSL subscribers with more than half, or 25 million, of its wireline customers DSL-capable.

SBC/Ameritech has five reportable segments that reflect the current management of its business: (1) wireline; (2) wireless; (3) directory; (4) international; and (5) other.

The wireline segment, which accounts for approximately 75% of total normalized operating revenues in 2001, provides landline

telecommunications services, including local, network access and long distance services, messaging and Internet services and sells customer premise and private business exchange equipment.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2000, the wireless segment, which accounted for approximately 16% of total normalized operating revenues in 2001, included consolidated businesses that provides wireless telecommunications services and sells wireless equipment. Cingular offers both wireless voice and data communications services across most of the U.S., providing cellular and PCS services.

The directory segment, which accounted for approximately 8% of total normalized operating revenues in 2001, includes all directory operations, including Yellow and White Pages advertising and electronic publishing.

All investments with primarily international operations are included in the international segment. The other segment includes all corporate operations and Ameritech’s paging, cable television and SecurityLink operations. SecurityLink was sold in January 2001, and Ameritech New Media, and Ameritech’s cable television operations, were both sold in November 2001.

Ameritech provides a full array of broadband data and e-commerce solutions to business customers, including Web hosting and other Internet services. In the residential market, Ameritech offers DSL high-speed Internet access, advanced voice features and other services. Ameritech consists of more than 193,000 employees and had $45.9 Billion in 2001 revenues. Ameritech’s presence extends across 13 states; Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin. III. LONG DISTANCE Ameritech offers interLATA (Local Access and Transport Area) long distance services in the states of Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Connecticut. They intend to seek approval from the FCC to offer interLATA long distance in their other in-region states. As a first step in that process, they have filed applications with the state commissions in California, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada and Ohio.

IV. INTERNET ACCESS Ameritech offers a range of Internet services and products for residences and businesses, varying by market. Internet services offered include basic dial-up access service, dedicated access, web hosting, e-mail, and high-speed access services. During 2000, they formed a relationship with Prodigy Communications Corporation (Prodigy) that combined its residential and small business Internet operations. In the fourth quarter of 2001, they acquired Prodigy.

In November 2001, Ameritech announced an agreement with Yahoo! to provide broadband access to customers in its 13-state area and co-branded dial-up service nationwide. This agreement was enacted in order to help customers access internet services virtually nationwide. The expectation is that this offering of co-branded service with Yahoo! will begin during the second half of 2002. V. LOCAL EXCHANGE SERVICES Local exchange services include traditional dial tone primarily used to make or receive voice, fax, or analog modem calls from a residence or business. Ameritech also offers this service on a wholesale basis to competitors. On December 31, 2001, they were providing wholesale services to approximately 3.6 million access lines. Other local services include certain extended area service, directory assistance and operator services.

Vertical services include custom calling services such as Caller ID, Call Waiting, voice mail and other enhanced services. These features allow telephone users to manage their local services with enhanced features such as displaying the number and/or name of callers, signaling to the telephone user that additional calls are incoming, and sending and receiving voice messages. These services are not regulated by the FCC and are generally more profitable. VI. DATA SERVICES

Confidential Page 3. 9/20/02

United Telesystems, Inc.

Revenues from data services may be classified as local, network access or long distance revenues and include high-speed data communication services used for transporting digital traffic from one computer system to another. Data services include digital products categorized into three basic categories:

• Switched Transport services such as Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Frame Relay, and DSL;

• Dedicated Transport services such as Digital Services and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET); and

• Application and Data Communications services which include Internet access and network integration.

ISDN transmits voice, video, and data over a single line in support of a wide range of applications, including Internet access. Frame Relay is a fast packet switching technology that allows data to travel in individual packets, or pieces, of information. DSL is a digital modem technology that converts existing twisted-pair telephone lines into access paths for multimedia and high-speed data communications to the Internet or private networks. DSL allows customers to simultaneously make a phone call and access information via the Internet or an office local area network. Digital Services are high-speed dedicated digital circuits offered with various speeds of transport. SONET provides customer access to our backbone network at very high speeds. Network integration services include installation of business data systems, local area networking, and other data networking solutions. VII. NETWORK ACCESS SERVICES Network access services connect a customer’s telephone or other equipment to the transmission facilities of other carriers that provide long distance and other communications services.

switching system, usually located on a customer’s premises, which provides intra-premise telephone services as well as access to the public switched network.

VIII. AMERITECH’S BUSINESS TRENDS

Overview Despite passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Telecom Act), the U.S. telecommunications industry, including DSL and other advanced services, continues, in many respects, to operate as a heavily regulated industry. The expected transition from an industry overseen by multiple regulatory bodies to a market-driven industry monitored by state and federal agencies has been slow. Ameritech’s wireline subsidiaries remain subject to regulation by state regulatory commissions for intrastate services and by the FCC for interstate services. This continuing difficult and uncertain regulatory environment combined with the recent downturn in the U.S. economy presents challenges for this business.

• Expected Growth Areas Ameritech expects the wireline segment to remain the most significant portion of its business and have also discussed trends affecting this segment. Over the next few years they expect an increasing percentage of their business to come from two areas within the wireline segment - data/broadband and long distance - and their wireless segment.

o Data/Broadband In October 1999, they announced plans to upgrade their network to make broadband services available to approximately 80% of their U.S. wireline customers over the four years through 2003 (Project Pronto). Due to the weakening U.S. economy and uncertain regulatory environment, in October 2001 they announced a scale-back in their broadband deployment plans. At December 31, 2001, they had approximately 1.3 million DSL subscribers, and more than half, or 25 million, of the wireline customer locations were DSL-capable. Additionally, they have spent approximately $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2001, for fiber, electronics and other technology for Project Pronto. The build-out will include transferring certain portions of their existing copper network to a new fiber network. Over the deployment period, marketing costs will be incurred depending on the rate of customer sign-ups and installations.

o Long Distance Ameritech offers landline interLATA long distance services to customers in selected areas outside its wireline subsidiaries’ operating areas. Further, they offer interLATA long distance services to customers in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Connecticut. The FCC approved its application to provide interLATA long distance service for calls originating in Kansas and Oklahoma effective March 7, 2001, and in Arkansas and Missouri on November 16, 2001. They officially launched service under the SBC Southwestern Bell brand in those states on the effective approval dates or shortly thereafter, offering domestic residential and business long distance services as well as international calling plans. They continue to seek long distance approval in their other in-region states and have filed applications with state commissions in California, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada and Ohio.

• In October 2001, the FCC completed its re-examination of certain information contained in their previously approved Kansas and Oklahoma long distance applications and found that they did not intentionally provide false information. However, the FCC proposed that they pay approximately $3 for alleged collateral violations related to those applications. This FCC ruling is still pending and has no effect on their ability to continue to offer long distance service in either state.

• Wireless In October 2000, Cingular began operations as the second-largest wireless provider in the U.S. Cingular’s top priorities for 2002 include geographic expansion, including expansion into New York City through an infrastructure-sharing agreement with VoiceStream Wireless Corporation (VoiceStream), further rollout of wireless data services, overlaying GSM voice and GPRS high-speed data technology over its existing networks and integration of operations to strengthen its competitive position and realize cost synergies. The fastest growing area of the wireless business is data. Although data revenues are not currently a significant portion of Cingular’s total revenues, Cingular plans to accelerate the development of this business. In late 2001, Cingular launched GPRS in Seattle, Las Vegas, eastern Tennessee, coastal Georgia and the Carolinas and plans to launch GPRS in California by mid-2002. In January 2002, Cingular announced the formation of a joint venture with AT&T Wireless Services Inc. (AT&T Wireless) that is expected to allow

United Telesystems, Inc.

Confidential Page 7. 9/20/02

Cingular to extend its GSM/GPRS network coverage along interstate highways in the upper Midwestern and Western sections of the U.S. Cingular expects the new networks to be operational by the first quarter of 2003. Additionally, Cingular has announced it will begin upgrading its network to third generation (3G) wireless data technology by introducing Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE). EDGE technology is Cingular’s choice for a 3G wireless communications standard that will allow customers to access the Internet from their wireless devices at higher speeds than in the past. This upgrade is expected to be completed by early 2004. During 2002, Cingular expects to spend approximately $4.5 billion for ongoing capital expenditures and to begin overlaying its existing network with GSM voice and GPRS/EDGE data technology.

COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER OVERVIEW SEPTEMBER 20, 2002

I. OVERVIEW

A. General

As a result of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, alternative local exchange telephone companies are striving to penetrate the local telecommunications market. The passage of this legislation has placed the industry in a pro-competitive environment, providing many new alternative local service providers with an opportunity to compete in this evolving industry. The following is a list of some of the potential barriers to entry for alternative local exchange telephone companies:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7. Unbundling

8.

9.

10.

Name recognition of incumbent local exchange telephone companies

Building awareness of entrants and their services

Lack of a network infrastructure for facilities-based providers

Development of resale and operational arrangements

Start-up costs

Interconnection arrangements

Number Portability

Operations and maintenance

Customers service (including billing systems)

While the above list includes potential barriers, these barriers are not insurmountable. Competition should result in the advancement of deployed technology, creative service offerings, and greater choice and flexibility in the market place. As competition in the telecommunications industry continues to evolve, many new and innovative service offerings and combinations of services will be introduced to the market place.

B. The State of Illinois

1. The Illinois Commerce Commission

Illinois Commerce Commission 527 E. Capitol Avenue Springfield, IL 62701

The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is responsible for providing information and making recommendations to the Commissioners of the ICC on matters concerning telecommunications. In addition, the ICC provides telecommunications information and assistance to members of the general public as well as other governmental bodies and the press. The ICC’s Telecommunications Division provides analytical, technical, and policy support on all telecommunications issues coming to the ICC--tariffs, rules, federal requirements, alternative regulatory proposals, mediation/arbitration requests, or any other circumstances in which state or federal law is applied to telecommunication services in Illinois.

2. Incumbent Local Exchange Telephone companies

Incumbent Local exchange telephone companies are defined as telecommunications companies that were historically granted exclusive franchises to build, maintain, and provide local telephone service. Incumbent local exchange telephone companies were certificated by the ICC to provide local exchange telecommunications service in the state on or before 1995.

In response to the numerous inquiries about who is providing local exchange service in Illinois, the Illinois Commerce Commission has coordinated a listing of local exchange telephone companies. This listing includes the new competitive local exchange companies, as well as incumbent local exchange companies. Each company listed has the burden to keep this information current by providing the Illinois Commerce Commission with updated information. The Illinois Commerce Commission does not endorse any of these companies, but provides this information to further consumer education about customer choices. Following, is a list of competitive local exchange providers certified in Illinois:

3. Alternative Local Exchange Telephone companies Alternative local exchange telephone companies are defined as any company, other than incumbent local exchange telephone companies, certificated by the ICC to provide local exchange telecommunications services in the State of Illinois on or after 1995. Alternative local exchange telephone companies planning to provide services in the State of Illinois after 1995 must be certificated by the ICC. Alternative local exchange telephone companies are also required to file a price list specifying their rates and charges for basic local telecommunications services. Certificate authority is on a statewide basis, except where prohibited. As of June, 2001, the ICC was faced with approximately 425 applications from entities desiring to be certified as non-incumbent local exchange companies. II. COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER – US

MARKET INFORMAITON The following information was filed by qualifying US telephone

service providers with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) in 2001. Reporting carriers own the “last mile” of wire, cable, or optical fiber that connects to the end-user premises (or own the equivalent fixed wireless facility) if it reports providing the local telephone line over its own facilities. In general, local exchange and exchange access lines provisioned over facilities (other than dark fiber) and services obtained from another carrier are not the reporting carrier’s “own facilities” for purposes of this data collection, irrespective of whether those facilities or services are obtained under interconnection arrangements, under tariff, or by other means. In particular, owning the switch that provides dial-tone (and other services) over a UNE (unbundled network element) loop leased from another carrier does not qualify a line as being provisioned over the reporting carrier’s own facilities. UNE loops, as the term is used here, includes UNE loops leased from an ILEC on a stand-alone basis and also UNE loops leased in combination with UNE switching or with any other unbundled network element.

Considering the technology deployed in the “last few feet” to the end-user customer’s premises, about 1% of nationwide local telephone lines in service, or about 1.2 million lines, now terminate at the end-user customer’s

United Telesystems, Inc.

premises over coaxial cable facilities. Less than 1% of lines terminate over fixed wireless facilities.

Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (“CLECs”) reported a total of 16.4 million (or 8.5%) local telephone access lines of the approximately 194 million nationwide local telephone lines in service to end-user customers. At the end of 1999, 8.3 million (or 4.4% of nationwide lines) were provided by CLECs. CLEC market share has grown 93% in the past two years.

CLECs have captured 20% of the market in the State of New York – the most of any state. CLECs reported 2.8 million lines in New York, compared to 1.2 million lines the prior year – an increase of over 130%, from the time the FCC granted Verizon’s long distance application in New York.

CLECs captured 12% of the market in Texas, gaining 644,980 end-user lines in the six months since the FCC authorized SBC’s long distance application in Texas.

CLEC market share in New York and Texas (the third and second most populous states and the two states where incumbent local exchange carriers were granted long distance approval during the reporting period ending in December 2000) are over 135% and 45% higher than the national average, respectively.

The most populous state, California, has the third largest number of CLEC lines reported. At least one CLEC is now serving customers in 56% of the nation’s zip codes. About 88% of United States households reside in these zip codes.

CLECs reported lines in all states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico except Hawaii. Four or more CLECs reported serving customers in 34 states.

In Florida, Georgia, New York, and Texas, at least one-quarter of the zip codes have seven or more reporting CLECs. By contrast, 8% of nationwide zip codes have seven or more reporting CLECs.

About 60% of CLEC local telephone lines served medium and large business, institutional, and government customers. By contrast, almost 20% of incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) lines served medium and large business customers.

CLECs now serve 4.6% of the residential and small business customers, compared to 2.3% for the year ago period. CLECs share of the residential and small business customer market grew nearly 45% over the past two years.

CLECs provided about 35% of their end-user customer lines over their own local loop facilities.

Incumbent telephone companies now provide about 6.8 million resale lines, and they now provide about 5.3 million UNE loops.

The 77 providers of mobile wireless telephone services that reported information now serve over 101 million subscribers. About 9% of these subscribers received their service via a mobile telephone service reseller.
