| Background: |
As part of the work done by the AFN Advisory Committee,
a quarterly report format was developed. This first report was completed
in November 2001. This is the fifth report and covers the period of July
1 to September 30, 2002. AFN continues to make progress on both construction
and connections. With the departure of many SOU off campus students this
summer, we processed a number of disconnections. However, we still managed
to have net increases each month for both CATV and Internet accounts.
AFN is exceeding the Business Plan targets for CATV, Internet and
Bulk CATV services. We haven't lost high-speed data customers but the business
plan assumes a rate increase, which hasn't been implemented so the equivalent
numbers are lower. We will discuss this situation and a possible solution
and rate increase at the council meeting. |
