CitySummaryThis summary letter was drafted by CEO Hugh Earnest and Attorney Mac Norton, following extensive review and discussion of Cox's position in the ongoing franchise negotiations, plus Cox's near total rejection of the 72 page revise agreement drafted by the City in 2001. This letter clearly states the points that remained to be resolved. Cox's current one-page letter of agreement appears to be the response.The Telecom Board has endorsed the proposed Cox agreement, but has suggested some caveats to be amended. TelecomWatch sees little advantage to the City of Fayetteville in the letter as currently drafted, and we have suggested an alternative approach at: TaskForceCommentary. We respect Attorney Noton's advice about setting a "drop dead" dead for negotations to be completed by December, 2005, but we not understand why that deadline could not be set in any event, without the Task Force, Regional Network, or ambiguous letter of agreement. Perhaps that will be explained in the City Council discussion.) |
