At the Resident’s Council meeting on Thursday Sept 25th, discussions were held regarding the newly negotiated CHAOC Bulk Charge Agreement with Time Warner.  According to a flier distributed at the meeting, the new rate of $63.89 is a 1-yr contract that started August 1, 2008.  This rate, which includes 350 regular channels plus HBO and DVR, requires at least 848 resident subscribers (there are 893 currently). It was not clear what the rate would be if the minimum was not met.

When asked if Verizon or other cable providers were considered, the management office (Ed Friedman) and Board representative (Charlie Brown) said “No.”  They explained that they are trying to get Verizon to clean up existing phone cables and improve the quality of installation work before soliciting additional services. 

In short, it sounds like we’ll have to wait until August 2009 before going through a competitive bid for cable services at CHAOC…
