3 MS. RUIZ: New York City Department

4 of Information Technology and

5 Telecommunications Calendar Item No. 1:

6 In the matter of the intent to seek

7 Franchise and Concession Review Committee

8 review relating to a proposed change of

9 control of a cable television franchise

10 held by Cablevision Systems New York City

11 Corporation, or Cablevision, in Brooklyn,

12 whereby Cablevision will be ultimately

13 controlled in majority by Altice NV and

14 its parent entities.

15 MR. HATCH: Does anyone wish to

16 testify?

17 MS. RUIZ: Bethsy Morales-Reid.

18 MS. MORALES-REID: Thank you. On

19 behalf of the Hispanic Federation, I

20 appreciate the opportunity to weigh in on

21 the proposed Cablevision/Altice

22 transaction. The Hispanic Federation is a

23 network of Latino-serving non-profit

24 agencies that serve the most vulnerable

25 members of our community. We advocate


5

1 Proceedings

2 nationally on vital issues including

3 education, health, immigration, economic

4 empowerment, civic engagement, and

5 environment.

6 As a national advocacy organization,

7 the Hispanic Federation has been a proud

8 partner with Cablevision and a benefactor

9 of its charitable support for the Hispanic

10 community. Cablevision is a strong

11 community partner and a great corporate

12 citizen; a partner that does not only

13 focus on its products and services, but

14 gives back to our community in substantive

15 ways. The community has been open to

16 using -- I'm sorry, the Company has been

17 opened to using its programming assets,

18 production capabilities, and charitable

19 generosity to support our member

20 organizations and the important support

21 services they provide to the two million

22 Latinos in New York-Metro area.

23 Specifically, Cablevision has hosted

24 televised Town Hall events, produced

25 entirely in Spanish, to deliver important


6

1 Proceedings

2 news reporting to the Hispanic community.

3 They have also produced Public Service

4 Announcements, which provide important

5 marketing support for our member

6 non-profit groups, and have also aired

7 documentaries in Cablevision's local

8 programming stations that tell the story

9 of Latino immigration in New York.

10 In the programming arena, Cablevision

11 has worked to ensure that the diverse

12 Hispanic communities in New York City have

13 access to exclusive Spanish-language

14 programming. The current package, with

15 over 55 channels, feature in-language

16 networks from Latin America, South

17 America, the Caribbean, Spain, Puerto

18 Rico, Dominican Republic, and Mexico, as

19 well as unlimited use of World Picks

20 Latino on Demand, a unique

21 Spanish-language Video on Demand service.

22 In addition to the Spanish-language

23 package channels, Cablevision also carries

24 popular channels like Univision,

25 Galavision, Telemundo, Estrella, Exitos


7

1 Proceedings

2 TV, Mundo Fox, UniMAS, Vme, HBO Latino,

3 and a robust offering of Spanish-language

4 Movies on Demand.

5 I'm pleased that a company like

6 Altice, a strong global communications

7 company with operations in eight

8 countries, including the Dominican

9 Republic, has chosen to make New York the

10 base of its US operations. Altice is

11 expected to bring a fresh perspective

12 based on its experience in diverse, highly

13 competitive markets around the world. We

14 at the Hispanic Federation look forward to

15 learning more about the company's planned

16 commitments to investments in networks,

17 service innovation, and high quality

18 local, national, and international

19 content. We also understand that the

20 company is well resourced and we are

21 optimistic that they will continue

22 Cablevision's long-standing tradition of

23 generosity to community organizations.

24 Finally, Cablevision is known for

25 attracting and retaining a diverse and


8

1 Proceedings

2 capable workforce here in New York. With

3 Altice's plans to headquarter its US

4 operations in New York, the Hispanic

5 Federation will be eager to learn more

6 about Altice's specific plans for

7 investing in a diverse and highly trained

8 workforce.

9 We look forward to beginning a new

10 partnership with Altice to ensure that

11 Cablevision's legacy of support to the

12 Hispanic community and service to all its

13 customers is maintained. Thank you.

14 MR. HATCH: Thank you. Will the

15 Clerk please call the next person who

16 wishes to testify.

17 MS. RUIZ: Melissa Chapman.

18 MS. CHAPMAN: Good afternoon,

19 committee and guests. My name is Melissa

20 Chapman and I serve as the Senior Vice

21 President for Public Affairs at the

22 Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. This

23 testimony is being delivered on behalf of

24 our President and CEO, Carlo Scissura.

25 The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is a


9

1 Proceedings

2 membership-based, business assistance

3 organization that represents the interests

4 of over 2,200 member businesses, as well

5 as other businesses across the borough of

6 Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Alliance is a

7 not-for-profit, economic development

8 organization of the Brooklyn Chamber,

9 which works to address the needs of

10 businesses through direct assistance

11 programs.

12 We're here today to express our

13 support for the proposed change of

14 control, whereby Cablevision will be

15 ultimately controlled in majority part by

16 Altice NV and its parent entities. As the

17 voice of the Brooklyn business community,

18 we believe our members and local economy

19 will benefit from the enhanced competition

20 and innovation that will result from this

21 transaction.

22 Economic growth is reliant upon a

23 world class infrastructure system that

24 prioritizes connectivity and broadband

25 accessibility. Cablevision's long history


10

1 Proceedings

2 of serving customers in Brooklyn with a

3 wide variety of product offerings has been

4 an integral part of that infrastructure.

5 We are pleased that a company with

6 Altice's global presence, history of

7 investment, and deep experience in the

8 communications market will be their new

9 partner. Having a new partner with these

10 characteristics is the best outcome of

11 this change of control.

12 Overall, it is our belief that this

13 transaction will enhance competition,

14 drive innovation, and contribute to

15 economic growth in Brooklyn. As such, we

16 respectfully urge that you approve this

17 proposed change of control.

18 Thank you for the opportunity to

19 testify in this matter.




23 MS. RUIZ: Leslie Schultz.

24 MS. SCHULTZ: Good afternoon. I'm

25 Leslie Schultz, the President of BRIC.


11

1 Proceedings

2 BRIC is the leading presenter of free

3 cultural programming in Brooklyn and is

4 honored to serve as the community access

5 organization for the borough. BRIC is

6 dedicated to amplifying and enabling

7 diverse artistic and community voices, and

8 to sustaining community through arts and

9 media. We are deeply grateful for the

10 long-standing support of our work by Mayor

11 de Blasio, Borough President Eric Adams,

12 and Comptroller Scott Stringer. It is

13 this support that makes our work in

14 community media and in the arts possible.

15 We thank the members of the Franchise

16 and Concession Review Committee for

17 holding this hearing to consider the

18 proposed Cablevision/Altice merger. These

19 hearings are of vital importance for all

20 of New York City.

21 Cablevision provides major meaningful

22 support to BRIC's work to bridge the

23 digital divide through vital education

24 programs, to enable community voices, to

25 amplify the work of Brooklyn non-profits,


12

1 Proceedings

2 and to shine a spotlight on matters of

3 concern and interest to Brooklynites.

4 Brooklyn is greatly served by that work

5 and it is vital the work continue.

6 Our grant agreement with Cablevision

7 helps us bridge the digital divide through

8 classes taken by more than 5,000 adults

9 yearly, and through classes offered at

10 dozens of public schools where we teach

11 thousands of students every school year.

12 BRIC's television studios, location

13 equipment, media lab, and edit suites are

14 all offered free of charge to Brooklyn

15 residents and community organizations to

16 create their own media. We are open seven

17 days a week to accommodate the schedules

18 of working-class people and students.

19 To enable us to reach individuals

20 through our borough of two-and-a-half

21 million people, and with Cablevision's

22 support, BRIC has formed an important

23 partnership with the Brooklyn Public

24 Library, and thus is able to offer

25 convenient video and social media classes


13

1 Proceedings

2 at library branches across the borough.

3 Our new BRIC TV initiatives provides

4 vital, hyper-hyper local, in-depth media

5 coverage of Brooklyn neighborhoods,

6 issues, culture, and people; coverage

7 which is otherwise entirely absent from

8 the landscape. Over 2,000 Brooklyn-based

9 guests have appeared on our live daily

10 show, and our BRIC TV Civic Affairs

11 programming highlights civic events, live

12 debates, and interviews with local elected

13 officials.

14 BRIC also provides media capacity

15 building services to under-resourced

16 non-profits. For example, through BRICs

17 Media Share program, we offer non-profits

18 in the borough in-kind grants to create

19 video to advance their work.

20 New York City's public access

21 community will be well-served by this

22 merger if Altice commits to continue

23 Cablevision's work, most specifically by

24 providing stable financial support for

25 Public Access services regardless of any


14

1 Proceedings

2 shift in the cable markets.

3 Based on recent assurances from

4 Cablevision, we are confident that Altice

5 is prepared to continue funding public

6 access, at least at current levels. Based

7 on those assurances, we're very pleased to

8 add our voices in support of the proposed

9 transaction. Thank you very much.




13 MS. RUIZ: Samantha Dodds.

14 MS. DODDS: Good afternoon, I'm

15 Samantha Dodds, the Director of Corporate

16 Relations at Brooklyn Public Library. I'm

17 here today to speak on behalf of Brett D.

18 Robinson, the Library's Executive Vice

19 President of Finance and Administration.

20 On behalf of Brooklyn Public Library,

21 I'm expressing our support for Cablevision

22 and its proposed acquisition by Altice.

23 Brooklyn Public Library has endured a

24 robust partnership with Cablevision for

25 many years. The company provides Optimum


15

1 Proceedings

2 Ultra 101 broadband access to all of the

3 42 branches in its service area at no

4 charge. Patrons are able to access the

5 service wirelessly and on our desktop

6 computers.

7 For several years Cablevision's

8 Optimum Community program has hosted an

9 annual summer reading event with NBA

10 great, John Starks, at a BPL branch, most

11 recently Coney Island Library. Optimum

12 Community's Neighborhood Journal has

13 raised awareness of library initiatives

14 with coverage of our summer reading

15 kick-off, Brooklyn Cultural Adventures

16 program, and the annual Brooklyn Classic

17 Fundraiser.

18 We are pleased that Altice, with its

19 experience, resources, and history of

20 innovation, will be our new partner. We

21 believe that company will continue to

22 invest in Brooklyn with broadband

23 infrastructure and community programming.

24 Thank you.

4 MS. RUIZ: Dr. Hazel Dukes.

5 DR. DUKES: Good afternoon, and thank

6 you very much for inviting us to testify

7 at this important meeting.

8 I'm Hazel Dukes. I'm President of

9 NAACP New York State Conference, with 15

10 branches within the borough of the City

11 and Nassau and Suffolk County.

12 Over the years we've had a good

13 relationship with Cablevision. Our

14 mission is to ensure educational,

15 political, and social, and economic

16 equality for the rights of all persons,

17 and to eliminate racial discrimination.

18 We found with Cablevision, they are

19 viewing for our communities and our

20 support. So therefore, I'm here today to

21 support this proposed transition.

22 Our organization has worked with

23 Cablevision for over ten years, and their

24 support, along with the support of many

25 other generous organizations and


17

1 Proceedings

2 individuals, has allowed us to service our

3 residents and members, thousands of New

4 Yorkers. So we are pleased with the

5 company, Altice, expansion and we hope

6 that you, the Commission, will see this as

7 a valuable entity for all New Yorkers.

8 Thank you so much, and we encourage

9 you to support this transaction.




13 MS. RUIZ: Bob Master.

14 MR. MASTER: Good afternoon. My name

15 is Bob Master, I'm Assistant to the Vice

16 President for CWA District 1, which

17 represents 30,000 workers who live and

18 work in New York City, and 140,000 public

19 and private sector workers from New Jersey

20 to Maine. Thank you for the opportunity

21 to speak to you today.

22 The Communications Workers of America

23 is pleased to endorse the sale of

24 Cablevision to Altice, and we urge the

25 Committee to approve the transfer of the


18

1 Proceedings

2 franchise between the two companies today.

3 We believe that this transaction is in the

4 best interest of both New York City

5 telecommunications consumers and the 250

6 workers we represent at Cablevision's

7 operations in Brooklyn.

8 As most of you know, the course of

9 labor management relations over the last

10 four years in Brooklyn has been, shall we

11 say, less than smooth. Therefore, we are

12 very pleased to inform you that CWA and

13 Altice have negotiated an extension of the

14 current collective bargaining agreement

15 that guarantees three years of job

16 stability and includes several significant

17 improvements in wages and contract

18 language. In addition, the agreement,

19 which will take effect upon completion of

20 the Cablevision/Altice sale, includes a

21 resolution of all outstanding legal issues

22 between the parties, including several

23 ongoing National Labor Relations Board

24 proceedings.

25 We believe that thanks to cooperative


19

1 Proceedings

2 approach taken by Altice, we have turned

3 the page on the labor relations challenges

4 of the past in Brooklyn Cablevision, and

5 have good reason to hope that a new day

6 has begun. Parallel to the negotiations

7 with CWA, Altice has engaged in dialog

8 with the City of New York about its public

9 interest commitments. We believe that

10 DoITT and the City have done an excellent

11 job ensuring that the needs of New York

12 City's cable consumers in Brooklyn and the

13 Bronx are being protected. In short, this

14 deal is good for all New Yorkers.

15 In light of this, we support the most

16 expeditious resolution of the transaction,

17 and we believe once the Public Service

18 Commission completes its review of the

19 sale, and imposes whatever conditions it

20 chooses to impose, the transaction should

21 close.

22 In closing, let me reiterate the

23 support of the CWA for the

24 Cablevision/Altice transaction today. We

25 urge you to approve the deal. Thank you


20

1 Proceedings

2 fort opportunity to testify.




6 MS. RUIZ: Anne Roest.

7 MS. ROEST: So thank you to all who

8 have testified here, and thank you for the

9 comments regarding our efforts to ensure

10 that we are protecting the rights of the

11 consumers in the City. We do hope that

12 this transaction will be approved with a

13 condition, that we get a chance to review

14 the approval of the FCRC for their

15 conditions they may set around protection

16 of the jobs that are customer facing.

17 We want to ensure that we continue to

18 protect rights of the consumers in the

19 City. We think the condition is an

20 important one, to ensure that post

21 approval we get to review the conditions

22 that were set. We will be expedient in

23 that review and approval, but we do think

24 it's important that this is passed with a

25 condition that we get a chance to review


21

1 Proceedings

2 the conditions that are set around

3 maintaining jobs to protect the consumer

4 service in the City.

5 So thank you for your consideration,

6 we would like this to pass. We would like

7 it to pass with a condition, as proposed,

8 and with a side letter that we'll be

9 submitting. Thank you.

10 MR. HATCH: Thank you, Commissioner.

11 Will the Clerk please call the next person

12 who wishes to testify.

13 MS. RUIZ: At this time, we'd like to

14 recognize Maya Wiley.

15 MS. WILEY: Good afternoon. In

16 addition to the comments that Anne made, I

17 wanted to add a little bit of detail

18 around why, for the City, it's so

19 important not to have an approval that

20 would take action merely because the PSC

21 comes to agreement on the transaction.

22 And the primary reason is that, as Anne

23 stated, the Commissioner of DoITT, it's

24 critically important that we ensure that

25 our residents, the people of the City of


22

1 Proceedings

2 New York, actually get timely and

3 effective service. It is absolutely our

4 hope, thanks to Altice's coming to the

5 table and being very transparent, that

6 that's something that can happen fairly

7 rapidly, assuming all that we've heard to

8 date turns out to transpire at the PSC

9 level.

10 It's simply the job of the Department

11 -- DoITT -- I always switch your T's --

12 it's really critically important for DoITT

13 to exercise the over site to ensure that

14 our residents are treated equitably.

15 Remember that both in terms of Brooklyn

16 and the Bronx, these are both areas in

17 which we are actively and aggressively

18 pursuing compliance of Verizon over the

19 commitments it made to the City to serve

20 low-income residents. We are simply

21 trying to ensure that since there's not

22 sufficient competition as of yet, we're

23 still working on Verizon, that to the

24 extent Cablevision, and now Altice, will

25 step into its role, that DoITT can ensure


23

1 Proceedings

2 that customer service will be speedy,

3 adequate, and meet the terms of the

4 franchise.

5 DoITT has committed to doing that

6 expeditiously upon a process of the PSC,

7 but we believe it's absolutely in the

8 interest of the City of New York and our

9 residents that we do that. Thank you very

10 much.

11 MR. HATCH: Thank you, Counsel Wiley.

12 Will the Clerk please call the next person

13 who wishes to testify.

14 MS. RUIZ: Let the record reflect

15 that written testimony was submitted on

16 behalf of Sister Dolores F. Crepeau of Our

17 Lady of Guadeloupe in favor of Calendar

18 Item No. 1. Let the record -- that

19 statement will be streamlined to the

20 members.

21 Let the record also reflect that

22 written testimony was submitted by Sonya

23 Shields on behalf of Brooklyn Community

24 Services, on behalf -- in favor of

25 Calendar Item No. 1. That statement, as


24

1 Proceedings

2 well, will be shared with the members.

3 MR. HATCH: If no one else wishes to

4 speak, will the Clerk please call the

5 second calendar item.

6 MS. RUIZ: New York City Department

7 of Information Technology and

8 Telecommunications Calendar Item No. 2:

9 In the matter of the intent to seek


11 review relating to a proposed change of

12 control of a cable television franchise

13 held by Cablevision Systems New York City

14 Corporation, or Cablevision, in the Bronx,

15 whereby Cablevision will be ultimately

16 controlled majority in part by Altice NV

17 and its parent entities.

18 MR. HATCH: Does anyone wish to

19 testify?

20 MS. RUIZ: Alice Marie Giordano.

21 MS. GIORDANO: Good afternoon. I'm

22 Alice Marie Giordano from the Academy of

23 Mount St. Ursula, a catholic high school

24 for young women in the Bronx. Thank you

25 for this opportunity.


25

1 Proceedings

2 Conducted in the Ursulan tradition,

3 our schools serve college-bound women of

4 diverse cultures by instilling a love of

5 learning and a broader global view. In a

6 family atmosphere, we strive to empower

7 young women for leadership in society.

8 I'm here today in support of the

9 proposed acquisition of Cablevision by

10 Altice because I believe that this

11 transaction will allow our valued

12 relationship with Cablevision to continue

13 and thrive for many years to come. Our

14 school has enjoyed a strong partnership

15 with Cablevision for many years. Through

16 Cablevision's Optimum Community program,

17 the Academy of Mount St. Ursula students

18 have participated in Charity Champions for

19 several years. This program has fostered

20 school spirit, inspired and supported

21 charitable work for our young women, and

22 benefited many local charities. Charity

23 Champions has helped raise awareness for

24 critical issues in our local communities

25 and demonstrates Cablevision's commitment


26

1 Proceedings

2 to our communities it serves. Our school

3 has been featured on Optimum Community

4 Neighborhood Journal Show, highlighting

5 the efforts and achievements of our

6 students.

7 We look forward to the fact that a

8 company such as Altice will be our new

9 partner in these type of community

10 initiatives. We believe that working with

11 an organization like Altice will be a

12 positive outcome from the sale of

13 Cablevision, and we look forward to

14 expanding upon our partnership with them.

15 As such, I encourage the New York City


17 to approve this transaction. Thank you.




21 MS. RUIZ: Michael Max Knobbe.

22 MR. KNOBBE: BronxNet, a community

23 media network serving the people of the

24 Bronx, thanks the New York City Franchise

25 and Concession Review Committee for


27

1 Proceedings

2 holding these important hearings.

3 Hello. I'm Michael Max Knobbe,

4 Executive Director of BronxNet. We are

5 the not-for-profit network providing

6 public services including access to

7 technology, studios, and channels with

8 workforce development opportunities for

9 high school and college students.

10 BronxNet televises diverse award-winning

11 programs across a spectrum of media,

12 including six cable television channels

13 that help connect one of the diverse

14 counties in the nation to the world.

15 We ask that Altice not only be asked

16 to adhere to the current agreements in

17 place with BronxNet and other community

18 access organizations serving the City, but

19 also to express their view on continued

20 and expanded support for BronxNet beyond

21 the current agreements, including plans

22 for subscriber-based and capital support,

23 as well as technological growth that keeps

24 pace with the times in terms of channel

25 delivery.


28

1 Proceedings

2 It is imperative that community media

3 channels not be left behind, but be

4 transmitted in High Definition, which is

5 at least equitable with the broadcast TV

6 resolutions of the times. By June,

7 BronxNet will have the ability to add all

8 of its channels to our existing digital

9 MPG2 transport stream transmission. If

10 the headend -- if the Cablevision headend

11 remains status quo, the signals for our

12 channels would be regrettably down

13 converted prior to encode to the headend,

14 and we are an HD native facility. HD is

15 the quality that viewers have come to

16 expect and it is important that our

17 channels are televised through High

18 Definition.

19 Through BronxNet's public access

20 facilities, we train the public in media

21 production by providing television,

22 studio, and field production workshops,

23 and enabling access to technology, as well

24 as the acquisition of valuable workforce

25 development skills. People completing the


29

1 Proceedings

2 training can utilize media production

3 equipment at no cost to produce programs

4 and share diverse, ultra-local content

5 that contributes to community development

6 through media. It is important to

7 consider how media literacy, access to

8 broadband and technology, along with the

9 related skills, are increasingly more

10 essential for participation in

11 contemporary civic and economic life, and

12 BronxNet is an anchor institution serving

13 a vital role in the technology future of

14 the Bronx and this great city.

15 As times and technology change,

16 BronxNet works to stay leading edge as we

17 enhance our public services in the Bronx.

18 We promote media literacy and we're

19 continually upgrading our production

20 equipment to help Bronxites keep pace and

21 access technology that might otherwise be

22 out of reach. We've trained over 3,000

23 high school and college students in media

24 production, and we've trained thousands

25 more members of the public. With the


30

1 Proceedings

2 opening of our new media production

3 facility in the East Bronx at Mercy

4 College at the Hutch-Metro Center, and

5 with planned upgrades to our network

6 operations at Lehman College via capital

7 allocations from Bronx Borough President

8 Ruben Diaz, Jr., and the City of New York,

9 we are creating more venues, including

10 studios equipped with the latest

11 technology, and other places of assembly

12 where Bronx residents can create unique

13 programs including those with live

14 community audiences.

15 BronxNet is producing more programs

16 in partnership with the organizations that

17 serve our borough resulting in educational

18 content that strengthens civic

19 participation. One example is the Viewer

20 Voter Guide that we do with the

21 non-partisan organization, New York City

22 Votes.

23 Since its inception, BronxNet has

24 collaborated closely with high schools and

25 institutions of higher learning. The


31

1 Proceedings

2 people we serve include a cross-section of

3 the very diverse population of our

4 borough. Civic, knowledge industry,

5 creative economy, and human services, the

6 agencies and institutions seeking to

7 communication with the borough, region,

8 and the world, rely on our channels and

9 services, and we help to build a thriving

10 public access media network with our

11 neighbors where people work together and

12 utilize this vehicle of free speech

13 positively to improve outcomes and effect

14 workforce and community development.

15 We thank New York City for supporting

16 community media and the Mayor and the

17 Commissioners. We look forward to

18 partnering with Altice, should the sale go

19 through. Many positive results have come

20 out of our relationship of over two

21 decades with Cablevision. We ask that

22 Altice work with BronxNet in the scope of

23 transfer to plan for the continuation and

24 enhancement of the vital public services

25 that BronxNet provides for the benefit of


32

1 Proceedings

2 the community. Thank you and keep all

3 City and Bronx strong.




7 MS. RUIZ: Phil Cardone.

8 MR. CARDONE: Hi. Phil Cardone from

9 the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, reading a

10 prepared statement by my president who

11 could not be here today.

12 Hi, my name is Nunzio Del Greco. As

13 President and CEO of the Bronx Chamber of

14 Commerce, I encourage the Franchise and

15 Concession Review Committee to approve the

16 acquisition of Cablevision by Altice.

17 The Bronx Chamber's main mission is

18 to support the local economy by supporting

19 and promoting businesses in the Bronx.

20 Altice has voluntarily chosen to acquire

21 Cablevision and operate in the Bronx, and

22 the Chamber welcomes them.

23 Cablevision has been a member of the

24 Chamber and a partner of our Bronx

25 communities for over a decade, providing


33

1 Proceedings

2 free video services to our local public

3 schools and municipal agencies and free

4 Internet service to our Community Boards.

5 The Chamber has directly partnered with

6 Cablevision on our directory of Bronx

7 businesses, student scholarships, and many

8 other local business events.

9 Altice's plans to build fibre deeper

10 into the network, develop innovative

11 services, and offer an affordable

12 broadband service will be a valuable

13 contribution towards the

14 telecommunications infrastructure that the

15 Bronx strives toward.

16 Cablevision's long history of serving

17 customers in the Bronx, and Altice's

18 communications market experience and

19 commitment to continue that legacy is in

20 line with the Bronx Chamber's commitment

21 to encourage competition, innovation, and

22 access to broadband.

23 We look forward to working with

24 Altice and we are convinced this

25 transaction will offer opportunity and


34

1 Proceedings

2 contribute to the economic development of

3 the Bronx.

4 It is our hope the Franchise and

5 Concession Review Committee agrees and

6 approves the acquisition of Cablevision by

7 Altice. Thank you.




11 MS. RUIZ: Ines Zayas.

12 MS. ZAYAS: Good afternoon. My name

13 is Ines Zayas, and I'm Special Assistant

14 to Daniel Quintero, he's the Executive

15 Director of the Kips Bay Boys and Girls

16 Club. I'm here to make a brief statement

17 on his behalf in support of the proposed

18 acquisition of Cablevision by Altice.

19 The mission of the Kips Bay Boys &

20 Girls Club is to enrich and enhance the

21 quality of life for young people by

22 providing educational and developmental

23 programs that promote the general health,

24 educational advancement, character

25 development, and leadership potential of


35

1 Proceedings

2 youth between the ages of 6 and 18. Our

3 programs instill a sense of confidence, a

4 sense of belonging, and a sense of power

5 and influence in young people. The work

6 we do at Kips Bay would not be possible

7 without the support of our partners in the

8 private sector.

9 Cablevision has supported the youth

10 of Kips Bay for many years with charitable

11 contributions and valuable media coverage

12 of our programs and events. This is why

13 Mr. Catero is in support of the proposed

14 acquisition of Cablevision by Altice. He

15 understands that Altice has a proven track

16 record of providing innovative

17 telecommunications services, and that

18 Altice has committed some investments in

19 the markets served by Cablevision,

20 including the communities Kips Bay

21 services.

22 We at Kips Bay are excited about the

23 evolution of our partnership with

24 Cablevision and look forward to working

25 with Altice in the future. It is in the


36

1 Proceedings

2 spirit of partnership that we encourage

3 the Franchise Concession Review Committee

4 to approve this transaction. Thank you.




8 MS. RUIZ: Let the record reflect

9 that written testimony was submitted by

10 Yoram Roschwalb of SAR High School in

11 favor of Calendar Item No. 2. That

12 written testimony will be shared with the

13 committee members.

14 MR. HATCH: If no one else wishes to

15 speak --

16 MR. SANCHEZ: I have a question. All

17 the testimony is done, correct?

18 So for my advocation, mechanically

19 understanding how in the event we were to

20 vote on this Wednesday for a conditional

21 approval based on this subsequent

22 agreement that DoITT be amendable or in

23 favor of a staff retention number agreed

24 upon between Altice and the Public Service

25 Commission, correct? That is the ask,


37

1 Proceedings

2 correct?

3 MS. WILEY: Correct.

4 MR. SANCHEZ: So help me understand

5 that in the event that the number or the

6 agreement is not to do with satisfactions

7 or to the City's satisfaction, how that

8 conditional approval would play out?

9 Would we have to come back here, have

10 another vote? Would they be considered in

11 breech of the approval? Help me

12 understand that.

13 MS. WILEY: That's a very good

14 question. The short answer is that

15 essentially we would -- the approval would

16 not yet be in effect. So what would

17 essentially happen is we'd have

18 discussions with Altice/Cablevision about

19 what would satisfy the City in terms of

20 staffing level sufficiency to meet each

21 customer service obligation. And then at

22 the point that we have that, then DoITT

23 could make the approval -- actually have

24 the approval go into effect. Of course

25 the FCRC would be informed of the outcome


38

1 Proceedings

2 of those discussions in advance of that

3 process, but there would not be a need for

4 formal process if DoITT came to an

5 agreement with Cablevision/Altice.

6 MR. SANCHEZ: As an attorney, we

7 always have to figure out when things go

8 wrong, 'cause they state it's voting

9 May 19th approximately?

10 MS. WILEY: It's currently scheduled

11 for the 19th.

12 MR. SANCHEZ: And from now to then

13 the agreement isn't to your satisfaction,

14 then our conditional approval would not

15 have ever taken place, and then we're

16 going to have to go at this yet another

17 time. So why wouldn't we vote after --

18 why are we voting this month? Wouldn't it

19 make more sense to vote after that number,

20 that agreement has been established? Are

21 their legal ramifications why it needs to

22 be done before or after?

23 MS. WILEY: Our understanding, quite

24 frankly, from -- and Altice could speak to

25 this on its own -- was that they, because


39

1 Proceedings

2 we've already put the matter over twice,

3 they were anxious to conclude the matter.

4 So this was our way of being a -- to

5 protecting the interests of the residents

6 of the City of New York at the same time

7 we were being expeditious.

8 MS. ROEST: Understand we've had a

9 lot of conversations about Cablevision,

10 and we came to agreement on all the other

11 outstanding issues, so there's one issue

12 it's looking like it's going to come to

13 closer. This seemed like a reasonable

14 approach.

15 MR. SANCHEZ: Okay. So we're voting

16 on -- we would be voting on Wednesday for

17 a conditional, essentially saying that

18 once that number is agreed upon, then our

19 approval goes into effect?

20 MS. WILEY: Correct.

21 MR. SANCHEZ: Okay, I'm good. Thank

22 you for answering my question.

23 MR. HATCH: If no one wishes to

24 speak, that concludes today's hearing. We

25 ask that the Reporter make the entire


40

1 Proceedings

2 Public Hearing Agenda, which was made

3 publicly available and distributed at this

4 hearing, part of the final record of the

5 proceeding. The hearing is now closed.

6 Thank you.
