Synopsis:	This is the Fourth Quarter Report. It covers the period April 1 to June 30, 2002.
Recommendation:	This report is for informational purposes only and no council action is required.
Fiscal Impact:	There is no fiscal impact.
Background:	As part of the work done by the AFN Advisory Committee last year, a quarterly report format was developed. This first report was completed in November. This is the fourth report and covers the period of April 1 to June 30, 2002. AFN continues to make progress on both construction and connections. With the departure of many SOU off campus students in June, the City processed a number of disconnections. However, AFN still managed to have a net increase in June for CATV, even with the reduction in student accounts. There is good reason to believe that returning students who had AFN services this spring will reconnect to AFN this fall. Business plan goals have exceeded or nearly met goals with all services. AFN's Internet product is priced lower and is significantly faster than our competitor's. AFN hopes to maintain this advantage with future marketing efforts for residential cable modem and exceed plan targets.
