Subject to demand from prospective Video Programming Providers ("VPPs"),
BroadbandConnect will evaluate and may implement an alternative
technology including, but not limited to, a switched digital open video

requests and meet all OVS channel capacity requirements.

4\. VPPs interested in carriage on BroadbandConnect's open video system
may obtain additional information about the system by completing the OVS
Information Request Form (Attachment 1) and submitting it to:

Dennis Harris

5410 Indian Head Highway

Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 76.1503(b)(2) of the FCC's rules, within five
business days of receipt of a request for information, BroadbandConnect
will provide the VPP with additional information regarding the open
video system to enable the VPP to make an enrollment decision. With this
information, the VPP will also be provided with additional forms and
instructions necessary for carriage on BroadbandConnect's open video
system. If a VPP decides to seek carriage on BroadbandConnect's open
video system after receipt of the additional information, the VPP must
submit the required forms, a non-refundable application processing fee,
and a channel reservation deposit by the end of the enrollment period.

5\. One third of the system's maximum capacity will be set aside for

§76.1506 of the FCC's rules. The remaining channels will be available
for interested VPPs. No VPP will be assigned more than the capacity set
aside for BroadbandConnect and its affiliates.

6\. The enrollment period for VPPs seeking carriage on
BroadbandConnect's open video system will commence on September 4, 2000
and will conclude December 5, 2000. In order to allow for contract
finalization, ensure orderly channel allocation and allow timely systems
allocation to occur, VPPs must submit their preliminary enrollment
requests no later than November 1, 2000. Allocation of capacity in the
event demand exceeds system capacity will occur as described in
Attachment 2.

7\. Attached is a certification that BroadbandConnect has complied with
all relevant notifications requirements under the FCC's open video
system regulations concerning must-carry and retransmission consent (47
C.F.R. §76.1506), including a list of all the local commercial and

the notification letter sent to television stations pursuant to this
Section is also appended hereto. (Attachment 4). Also attached is a

**OPEN VIDEO SYSTEM**

**CHANNEL ALLOCATION PROCESS**

BroadbandConnect's anticipated total system capacity on its open video
system is 300, 6 MHz analog channels. The following channel allocations
already have been made:

**BroadbandConnect: 95** channels for video programming + approximately
**15** channels for the PEG/Must-Carry/Retransmission consent
requirements. The remaining number of channels to be allocated is
**190**.

Initial capacity requests must be submitted by November 1[,
2000]{.underline}. At that time, the total number of channels requested
from all VPPs will be calculated. If sufficient capacity exists to fill
all requests, each VPP will be allocated channel capacity equal to its
request. If the

sum of all channels requested exceeds available channel capacity, each
VPP requesting fewer than 6 channels will receive its requested
channels; VPPs requesting more than 6 channels will receive at least 6,
total capacity permitting. The remaining channels will be allocated to
each VPP requesting more than 6 channels on a pro rata basis; that is
based on the ratio of the remaining number of channels requested by all
VPPs.
