City Owned Cable Television Proposal Moves Forward

BURLINGTON, Vt. --Burlington's proposal to own and operate its own cable television system is moving forward.



Burlington Telecom is seeking a certificate of public good from the Vermont Public Service Board.



On Friday, Adelphia Communications, the sole provider of cable television programming to Burlington residents, did not request any additional oral arguments in the case.



A board hearing officer last week recommended to the board that Burlington receive a certificate. Parties to the application -- the city, Adelphia and the New England Cable & Telecommunications Association -- had until Friday to file written comment about the hearing officer's findings or request additional oral argument.



Friday, both the city and Adelphia sent written comments, but neither side requested oral argument.
