Century Communications of FL, Inc. ("CCFL"), pursuant to Section
76.1503(b)(1) of the Commission\'s Rules, hereby submits its Notice of
Intent to establish an Open Video System ("OVS"). As required by section
76.1503(b)(1), CCFL respectfully submits the following information:

1\. **[OVS Operator]{.underline}.** The name, address and telephone
number of the OVS Operator is Century Communications of FL, Inc., 1181
S. Rogers Circle, Suite 5, Boca Raton Fl 33487. The contact person is
William McKissock. Mr. McKissock may be reached by mail at the above
address, by telephone at (561) 961-1999, and by facsimile at (561)
995-2285.

2\. **[Projected Service Area]{.underline}.** CCFL's projected OVS
service area encompasses the communities known as "Viscaya" located in
unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida. CCFL is likely to request
additional certification during the next several years to expand its OVS
service area.

3\. **[Projected Channel Capacity]{.underline}.** CCFL is providing OVS
service over hybrid fiber-coax broadband or GPON technologies. CCFL's
OVS will have 79 analog channel inputs, and 56 digital channel inputs.

4\. **[Carriage Applications and Inquiries]{.underline}.** Potential
video programming providers (VPPs) interested in carriage on CCFL's open
video system may obtain additional information about the system by
completing the attached OVS Information Request Form (Attachment 1) and
mailing it to William McKissock, Century Communications of FL, Inc.,
1181 S. Rogers Circle, Suite 5, Boca Raton FL 33487. If a VPP has
questions concerning the completion of this form, Mr. William McKissock
may be reached by telephone at (561) 961-1999 or by facsimile at (561)
995-2285.

Pursuant to Section 76.1503(b)(2) of the Commission's Rules, CCFL will
provide a VPP with additional information regarding the OVS system
within five (5) business days after CCFL's receipt by mail of a
completed OVS Information Request Form. The additional information will
include the projected activation date of the OVS, a preliminary carriage
rate estimate, equipment requirements and other technical information,
and VPP qualification requirements, as well as preliminary enrollment
forms, application forms, and information concerning application fees
and channel reservation deposits. If a VPP decides to seek carriage on
CCFL's open video system after receipt of the additional information,
the VPP must timely submit the required forms, a non-refundable
application fee, and a channel reservation deposit by the end of the
enrollment period.

5\. **[Initial Enrollment Period]{.underline}.** The initial enrollment
period for video programming providers seeking carriage on CCFL's OVS
system will commence February 3, 2006, and will end on May 3, 2006 or 90
days after the date upon which the FCC issues a Public Notice of the
filing of this Notice of Intent, whichever is later. To ensure orderly
processing of requests and allocation of channels, interested VPPs must
submit preliminary enrollment requests on or before May 3, 2006.

6\. **[Allocation of Capacity]{.underline}.** Initially, one-third (1/3)
of total digital channel capacity, and one-third (1/3) of total analog
capacity, shall be reserved to CCFL and/or its affiliates. CCFL
anticipates that approximately 5 additional analog channels will be used
for public, educational and/or governmental ("PEG") programming pursuant
to Section 76.1506 of the Commission's Rules, and that approximately 20
additional analog channels will be required to serve "Must-Carry"
stations entitled to demand carriage pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §76.56 and
§ 76.1506 of the Commission's rules. The total number of analog channels
reserved for CCFL and/or its affiliates, PEG programming and Must-Carry
stations shall be the "Analog Channel Reserved Capacity," and the total
number of digital channels reserved for CCFL and/or its affiliates shall
be the "Digital Channel Reserved Capacity" (collectively, the "Reserved
Capacity"). The number of channels available on CCFL's OVS beyond the
Analog Channel Reserved Capacity and/or the Digital Channel Reserved
Capacity (respectively, the "Remaining Analog Channel Capacity" and the
"Remaining Digital Channel Capacity," or collectively, the "Remaining
Capacity") will be made available to interested, qualified VPPs,
provided, however, that no VPP will be entitled to channel capacity
greater than that reserved to CCFL and/or its affiliates; and further
provided that no VPP will be entitled to request less than one full
channel. If the Reserved Capacity for either analog or digital channels,
plus the number of analog or digital channels timely requested by
qualified VPPs, exceeds the Remaining Analog Channel Capacity and/or the
Remaining Digital Channel Capacity, of CCFL's OVS system, then the
Remaining Capacity shall be allocated among qualified VPPs according to
the following formulas:

[For Analog Channels]{.underline}:

Requested Analog Channel Capacity (per VPP)

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
x Remaining Analog Channel Capacity

Total Requested Analog Channel Capacity (all VPPs)

[For Digital Channels]{.underline}:

Requested Digital Channel Capacity (per VPP)

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
x Remaining Digital Channel Capacity

Total Requested Digital Channel Capacity (all VPPs)

7\. **[Notification Requirements]{.underline}.** CCFL has complied with
the notification requirements under Section 76.1502(d)(1) of the
Commission's regulations. Attachment 2 is a copy of CCFL's notification
letter and Attachment 3 is a Certificate of Service upon the appropriate
authority in the relevant local communities. CCFL has also complied with
the notification requirements under Section 76.1506 of the Commission's
open video system regulations concerning must-carry and retransmission
consent. Attachment 4 is a copy of CCFL's notification letter and

Dear :

Please be advised that Century Communications of FL, Inc. ("CCFL")
intends to begin operating an Open Video System ("OVS") in the
communities known as Viscaya located in unincorporated Miami-Dade
County. Service activation is expected to occur on or about May 3, 2006.

Your station is entitled to carriage on the OVS, provided that it
delivers a good quality signal to the principal headend location in
Viscaya in Miami-Dade County, and further provided that carriage of
content you provide will not subject CCFL to copyright liability.

If your station is a commercial broadcast station, you may, pursuant to
47 C.F.R. § 76.1506, elect mandatory carriage of your signal. If you
elect mandatory carriage, CCFL will cause your signal to be delivered to
all subscribers of any Video Programming Provider ("VPP") that utilizes
the OVS. Alternatively, you may negotiate consent for retransmission of
your signal. If you elect retransmission, you may negotiate with one or
more VPPs delivering programming over the OVS for inclusion in their
programming package. [Please notify us by certified mail no later than
May 3, 2006 of your election.]{.underline} We will notify all VPPs of
your election. Please keep in mind that, under applicable FCC
regulations, your election must be the same as any election you make or
have made with respect to the cable system operators that serve or have
franchise rights to serve the same area(s).

You must also provide us with notification of black-out requirements
related to sports broadcasts, network non-duplication, and syndicated
exclusively. CCFL will make these notifications available to all VPPs
and will cause signals to be deleted or blocked in accordance with your
notification and with FCC regulations. Additionally, if you have
negotiated to have your signal retransmitted as part of one or more
VPP's programming packages, you should also notify those VPPs directly.

Please send your written election, as well as any notifications or other
correspondence to:
