Comcast Contract Negotiations Discussion-Michael Mael <br /> Michael Mael said we should have received a proposalfrom Comcast by now. He can speakto <br /> Towns about the process,but cannot get involved in discussions/negotiations. <br /> First he explained how the negotiations timeframe works.Then he explained that this is strictly <br /> about cable, it has nothing to do with internet,even though the two seem co-mingled. <br /> We cannot discuss rates and channel carriage in the contract,you can negotiate where they <br /> have to provide service and the length of contract. <br /> Mr. Nelson commented that itseems like our hands are tied. <br /> Mr. Eliason asked what our bargaining chips are, Michael Mael said the strongest chip is the <br /> length of license. <br /> Michael Mael said he strongly recommends looking at othertowns'contracts,specifically after <br /> February 2020. <br />
