CACSCC sponsored two Public
Hearings on Senior Discounts in April.
CACSCC confirmed that there is
a general misunderstanding of the discount, inconsistent implementation
within the franchise and little value added to Seniors (net
discount of approx $12 a year on Basic Tier Services.)
Criteria, implementation oversight
and use of state agencies for Senior Discount qualifications
will be a recommended legislative agenda item for the newly reforming Connecticut
ACM.
The Cable Company is to improve
the clarity of information related to this program commitment
in the franchise agreement.
A qualification for the Senior
Discount is enrollment in a CT Energy Assistance Program.
Interesting Note: There are no administrative offices for
this program in our franchise area.
