Public hearing on Millennium cable service
Seattle begins planning for franchise negotiations
SEATTLE - The public is invited to comment on services provided by Millennium
Digital Media, one of two cable service providers in Seattle. Millennium’s
cable franchise agreement is up for renewal in March 2008, and the City of
Seattle is beginning to develop priorities for franchise negotiations.
The meeting will be conducted by members of the Citizen’s Telecommunications
and Technology Advisory Board, in cooperation with the Seattle Department of
Information Technology, at the Yesler Community Center located at 917 E Yesler
Way in Seattle’s Central Area on Tuesday, January 30, 2007, beginning
at 5:30 p.m. and will end after all public comments have been heard. Persons
who wish to testify may sign up in-person outside the meeting room beginning
at 5:00 p.m.
For translation services or other accommodations, please call 206-386-0031
by Tuesday, January 23, to make arrangements. Questions regarding the public
meeting should be directed to Janet Jensen by calling 206-386-0031 or via e-mail
at janet.jensen@seattle.gov.
Written comments may be submitted to janet.jensen@seattle.gov or by filling
out a comment form on-line at http://www.seattle.gov/cable/comments.htm. All
comments received prior to the City Council passing an ordinance granting a
renewed franchise will be reviewed and considered.
