TO: Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler
Council President Terri Briere, and
Members, Renton City Council
FROM: Bonnie Walton, City Clerk/Cable Manager, x6502
SUBJECT: Comcast Cable Communications Rates - 2005-2006
The City's cable consultant, Lynne Hurd, of 3H Cable Communications, Inc, has reviewed the
annual basic cable rate adjustment proposed for the City of Renton by Comcast
Communications, Inc., for the period of July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006. Review of the FCC
forms prepared by Comcast indicate compliance with the federal formulas designed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)to ensure that cable customers are charged fair
rates in the absence of competition.
For Renton subscribers,the Maximum Permitted Rate(MPR) for basic cable has been calculated
at $14.56 per month,which is 3.4%higher than the 7/1/2004 MPR of$14.08. If the new MPR of
$14.56 were imposed, the increase would be 16.7%over the current monthly rate of$12.48. At
this time, Comcast is not imposing a rate increase, so the July 1, 2005, rate for basic cable will
remain at $12.48 base, plus fees and taxes. Should Comcast decide to impose a rate adjustment
within the next 12 months, they would need to provide at least a 30-day notice to the City and to
Renton customers, and the rate for basic (limited) cable could not exceed the MPR of$14.56.
Expanded basic and premium channels are not within the City's scope of review; however, for
your information, expanded basic service will remain at the current rate of$42.99. (The rate for
expanded basic service increased from $39.99 to $42.99 per month in January 2005.)
Our office published a notice in the South County Journal and placed a message on Renton
Channel 21 reporting the proposed rate adjustments and inviting written comments. No
comments were received.
If I can provide additional information regarding this matter,please feel free to contact me.

Subject: 2005 Cable Television Rate Filing Review
Dear Ms. Walton:
This letter summarizes our review of the Basic Cable television rates that Comcast Cable
Communications has proposed for Renton residents from July 1St, 2005 to June 30th, 2006.
Because the City's authority to regulate cable television rates is confined to Basic Cable, this
review only considers the rates imposed for Basic Cable services—while charges for expanded
or premium packages may appear in these rate filings, such charges are not subject to
regulation by the City.
Background
Comcast Cable Communications submitted its required FCC rate filing forms to the City of
Renton on April 1St, 2005. These forms provide Comcast with a means of calculating and
justifying any rate and fee changes proposed for the upcoming twelve-month rate period (in this
case, July 1St, 2005 through June 30th, 2006). As of April 1St, regulatory cable television
franchises such as the City have 90 days to review and appeal, if necessary, the rate
adjustments proposed by the operator in the FCC forms.
Comcast's annual rate filings include the following two forms:
• FCC Form 1240: This form derives the Maximum Permitted Rate (MPR) for Basic Cable
services. The maximum rate is based on the following components:
- The current year's base rate
- Adjustments for cost inflation during the current rate period
- Adjustments for projected cost inflation during the coming rate period
- Retroactive "true-up" adjustments reflecting differences between projected and actual
revenues for the current year(may be either a surcharge or a credit)
- Changes in costs related to programming, channel additions, copyrights, and regulatory
fees
Because the Maximum Permitted Rate is directly linked to expected costs, it may increase
or decrease depending on how the projected costs for the coming period compare to the

City of Renton Basic Cable Rate mew .

costs incurred during the current period. Note that the MPR is established as a rate
ceiling—cable operators may select a lower rate if they desire.
• Form 1205: On this form, Comcast derives its equipment and installation charges based on
a sampling of Comcast's company-wide costs related to customer equipment maintenance,
installation costs, and labor costs supporting capital activities..
The.ensuing review of these forms includes confirming the accuracy of Comcast's calculations
in Form 1240, referencing the source of key statistics used in.the calculation of the proposed
Maximum Permitted Rate, and identifying the costs that drive the proposed rate adjustment.
Note that this review focuses on the derivation of the proposed rates given the expected costs
for the 2005 – 2006 rate period, confirming that the supporting calculations are correct—it does
not judge or otherwise address the basis of the aforementioned costs.
The Maximum Permitted Basic Cable Rate (Form 1240)
The Maximum Permitted Rate consists of the following components:
• Base Rate: The base rate serves as the foundation for both the current and the new rate
period. It is the basis for comparing the calculation of the Maximum Permitted Rate to last
year's filing-any differences between the current MPR and the proposed MPR are
attributable to differing adjustments for inflation, other cost changes, and true-up
adjustments.
• Inflation Adjustments: This adjustment accounts for the impacts of simple cost inflation
incurred during the current rate period and projected for the coming year. Inflationary
adjustments are generally increases—Form 1240 provides a two-step method for computing
such adjustments, in order to ensure that the rate calculation does not include compounding
layers of costs driven by projections. In addition, the cable operator must always update
7 any inflation projections from the prior year's filing with actual inflation.
• External Costs: This component accounts for projected changes in programming costs,
copyright fees, and regulatory fees incurred by the cable operator, as well as the operator's
allowed profit markup of 7.5% on programming and copyright costs.
• True-Up Adjustments: Basic Cable rates are intended to recover the costs associated with
providing Basic Cable service, plus a defined margin of profit. Rates tend to be based on
projected costs, which may differ significantly from what the operator actually incurs while
providing service. The "true-up" adjustment acknowledges this, and (on a retroactive basis)
ensures that the operator collects what it should collect—it comes in the form of a surcharge
if the operator did not collect enough revenue, or in the form of a credit if the operator
collected more than it should have. This mechanism protects both the operator and Basic
Cable subscribers from the compounding effects of erroneous projections.
Having reviewed Comcast's Form 1240 submittal to the City of Renton, we conclude that the
calculation of the Maximum Permitted Rate proposed for Basic Cable service is sound and in
compliance with the structure and intent of the methodology established by the FCC. According
to Form 1240, Comcast intends to implement the calculated maximum rate of $14.56—this
corresponds to an increase of 16.7% over the current monthly rate of $12.48. Table 1
City of Renton Basic Cable Rate RYiew
July 8,2005
Page 3 of 5
summarizes the calculation of the proposed Maximum Permitted Rate, comparing each cost
component to the prior year's rate calculation.
Table 1: The Maximum Permitted Basic Cable Rate
Monthly Basic Cable Cost Component Current Rate Proposed Rate
(per subscriber) (2004-2005) '(2005-2006)
Base Rate $11.8198 $11.8198

Inflation for Projection Period $0.1994 $0.1756
Current Markup Method(Channel Additions) $0.1900 $0.1900
Channel Movement(from Basic to Expanded) $0.0000 $0.0000
True-Up Adjustment ($0.2186) ($0.0106)
External Costs $0.9289 $0.9551
A. Maximum Permitted Base Rate $12.92 $13.40
plus: Form 1235 Network Upgrade Capital Costs $1.16 $1.16
B. Total Maximum Rate Allowed $14.08 $14.56
C. Operator-Selected Basic Cable Rate from FCC Rate Filing $12.48 $14.56
D. Current Basic Cable Rate as of 1/1/2005 $12.48
The overall increase in the cost basis for the Maximum Permitted Rate is a result of the
elements described below:
• Inflation: The base rate is adjusted for cost inflation both in the true-up period (the current
year) and in the projection period (the coming year). The operator applied an inflationary
adjustment of 2.3% during the true-up period, and used the FCC's current inflation factor of
1.5% to project new cost changes. These inflation factors appear consistent with other
consumer price indices used nationwide, and are comparable local inflation factors.
Inflationary adjustments add slightly more than forty-four cents to the base rate.
• True-Up Adjustments: As described, the true-up adjustment is an annual evaluation of the
actual cost recovery performance of the current rate. If the operator did not collect enough
revenue to meet its Basic Cable costs, subscribers will reimburse the operator for the deficit
through their new rates; if the operator collected too much revenue, the new rates will reflect
a reimbursement to subscribers for the over-collection during the prior year.
While evaluating its costs and revenues, Comcast found a cost recovery surplus totaling
approximately $2,160. The true-up adjustment must refund this amount through a rate
credit of about one cent, given the revenue surplus mentioned above and the estimated
number of subscribers (17,040). This represents an increase of about twenty-one cents to
the comparable adjustment (a decrease in the size of the credit) included in the current
year's rate.
• External Costs: This component includes programming costs, copyright fees, regulatory
commission fees, and the operator's allowed 7.5% profit markup, all of which are passed
City of Renton Basic Cable Rate Review
July 8,2005
Page 4 of 5
through to the subscribers in the Basic Cable rate. Note that this component does not
include any utility taxes that may also be passed through_directly to subscribers. The
external cost component of the current MPR ($0.9289 per month) is based on an allocation
of $196,838 in external costs to an estimated 17,659 subscribers-Comcast expects the
total external costs to decrease by about 0.78% over the projected period. However, the
projected subscriber base in this year's Form 1240 is about 3.5 percent lower than the
projected customer base used to derive the current rate--given this,. the net result is an
increase of about 2.82% in the external cost component for the proposed MPR.
Equipment and Installation Charges
Comcast uses FCC Form 1205 to update its equipment and installation charges, based on the
company-wide costs that it incurs. Section 76.924 of FCC rules permits the cable operator to
utilize an independent sampling of franchise cost structures as the basis for company-wide
equipment and installation charges. As a consequence of this method of estimating aggregate
costs, there are no franchise-specific fees-all Comcast subscribers pay equal charges for
equipment and installation activities. Table 2 summarizes the current and proposed equipment
and installation charges:

Converter Box(HD, DVR&HDDVR) new $11.37 $6.45
CableCARD (N/A) $1.22 new
Customer Trouble Call $19.99 $24.74 $19.99
A benefit of this company-wide averaging of costs is that the cable operator can phase in
technological changes without causing spikes in subscriber fees. It is important to understand
that as with any fee based on statistical sampling and cost aggregation, franchises with lower-
than-average costs effectively subsidize franchises with higher-than-average costs. The
method implicitly creates local inequities in that franchise-specific costs may not directly relate
City of Renton Basic Cable Rate view
July 8,2005
Page 5 of 5
to the charges imposed in that area. In its oversight of this process, the FCC allows this
practice to continue.
The cost aggregation method of devising charges makes it difficult to sufficiently audit the
calculation of the proposed charges on Form 1205. A detailed review and verification of the
cost basis may be more expensive to a franchise than is practical-however, the charges
proposed for subscribers in Renton have been cross-checked with fees proposed in the rate
filings of several other local franchises to confirm that Comcast has allocated its expected
equipment and installation costs consistently across franchises.
Cable operators have historically charged fees below the established limits, as these fees are.
closely linked to the operator's promotional activities. Given this, it is reasonable to expect that
Comcast will implement charges that are below the ceilings established by FCC Form 1205.
Conclusions
Having reviewed FCC Form 1240, we conclude that Comcast has complied with FCC
requirements in calculating its Maximum Permitted Rates. As of July 1St, 2005, Comcast may
set a maximum rate of $14.56, which corresponds to an increase of about 16.7% over the
prevailing monthly rate of $12.48. The overall increase in the Maximum Permitted Rate is
caused by the fact that growth in the local subscriber base has been slower than expected (and
as a result there are fewer ratepayers), though there is also a slight increase in total costs (likely
due to inflation). In addition, the current rate of $12.48 per month is lower than the MPR
calculated in last year's filing ($14.08); in fact, the proposed MPR of$14.56 is only 3.4% higher
than the current MPR. Given that Comcast has indicated that it intends to charge the maximum
allowable rate, customers in Renton can expect to see an increase of 16.7% in their Basic
Cable bill effective July 1st
Given the charges shown in Table 2, it appears that Comcast is not proposing any material
changes to its equipment and installation charges aside from adding a couple of new equipment
items. Comcast is within the limits that Form 1205 imposes on equipment and installation
charges.
It has been a pleasure once again providing this review for the City of Renton. Please feel free

COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS,LLC.
FCC FORM 1240
PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
2005 ANNUAL FILING
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the approach and assumptions used in preparing the
2005 annual filing of FCC Form 1240 for systems owned and/or managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC. Where an FCC Order or Public Notice applies, it is referenced by number.
Questions about the mathematical calculations and formulas used in the Form 1240 and the Worksheets
can be referenced in the"Instructions for FCC Form 1240."
MODULE A-MAXIMUM PERMITTED RATE FROM PREVIOUS FILING
Line Al The current maximum permitted rate equals the maximum permitted rate from the
prior Form 1240,Line I9.
MODULE B: SUBSCRIBERSHIP
Line B 1/B2 The average subscribership for True-Up Period 1 is calculated by taking the average of
the actual subscribers for each month of the True-Up Period indicated in Question 6 of
FCC Form 1240. For systems with greater than 12 months of actual subscribers,Line B2
will also be completed using the same approach.
Line B3 The estimated average subscribership for the Projected Period is calculated using
historical subscriber growth for the most recent 12 months ending as of the last month of
the True-Up Period'. The historical growth percentage is then applied to the last month
of actual subscribers to project subscribers through the end of the Projected Period
indicated in Question 5 of FCC Form 1240. The Projected Period subscriber calculation
may be adjusted in areas where seasonal fluctuations in subscribers are prevalent.
MODULE C: INFLATION INFORMATION
Line C3/C4 The inflation factor for the True-Up Period is calculated using the Gross National
Product Price Index. The individual factors used for each month of the True-Up Period
reflect the quarterly factors released by the FCC summarized as follows:
uarter Months Covered Inflation
3Q03 Jul-03—Sep-03 1.66% (FCC DA 04-49)
4Q03 Oct-03—Dec-03 1.50% (FCC DA 04-847)
1Q04 Jan-04—Mar-04 2.84% (FCC DA 04-2080)
2Q04 Apr-04—Jun-04 3.23% (FCC DA 04-3238)
3Q04 Jul-04—Sep-04 1.43% (FCC DA 05-66)
For recently acquired systems,the subscriber growth percentage is calculated using historical subscriber growth for
the most recent period of actual data available.
2005-1240(4/1/2005)
MODULE C: INFLATION INFORMATION(continued)
The appropriate inflation factor is entered on Worksheet 1 for each month of the True-
Up Period and divided by twelve. The number 1.0 is then added to the result and entered
on Line 113 of Worksheet 1. For systems with a True-Up Period 2 (greater than 12
months of actual data),Line C4 will also be completed using the same approach.
MODULE G: MPR FOR TRUE-UP PERIOD 2
Module G is used to calculate the Maximum Permitted Rate(MPR)for True-Up Period
2. True-Up Period 2 will be completed when there are more than 12 months of actual
data to be trued-up. Worksheets used to calculate the numbers used in Module G are
attached to the Form 1240 as applicable.
WORKSHEET 7-EXTERNAL COSTS
Line 707 Franchise related costs included on Line 707 are taken from Attachment 5, "Franchise
Related Costs." The attachment provides information on how the franchise-related costs
are calculated for each period,e.g.,the type of cost being passed through and the number
of months of recovery.
WORKSHEET 8-TRUE-UP RATE CHARGED
Line 813 The True-Up Rate Charged reflects the actual rate charged included in the FCC Form
1240 calculation of the maximum permitted rate!
Franchises with rate ordered rates on Line Al will have a corresponding reduction in the applicable Module D
segment(s). For franchises that have paid refunds pursuant to a rate order,Line Al and Module D will match the
rate ordered rates and the Worksheet 8 rate will match the rate ordered rate for the applicable months.Additionally,
for franchises with FCC Form 1235,rates on Worksheet 8 will match Line Al per FCC Order DA 99-1779.

SAMPLING PLAN & ANALYSIS FOR COMCAST CABLE SYSTEM RATES
—Year 2004 Data—
Introduction
The purpose of this project is to provide estimates of the company-wide total and/or average for
the following variables in the population of cable management areas owned and/or managed at
or near year-end 2004 by Comcast Cable Communications (hereinafter Comcast):
Primary Variables
1- Customer Equipment Maintenance and Installation Costs(End Amount)
2. Labor Hours for Maintenance and Installation of Customer Equipment and Services (Total
Hours)
Secondary Variable
3. Converter Maintenance Hours (Converter Hours)
Installation Time Variables (Other Secondary)
4. Unwired Home
5. Pre-Wired Home
6. AO Same
7. AO Separate
8. Move Outlet
9. Upgrade
10_ Downgrade
11. VCR Same
12. VCR Separate
13. Trouble Calls
The estimates derived through the sampling plan described herein are used for regulatory
requirements, specifically FCC Form 1205. Values for the two primary variables are used to
obtain an estimate of the Hourly Service Charge (HSC). For Installation Time variables 4
through 10, estimates of the population total hours spent on installation and the population
number of installations (activity levels) are used to acquire an estimate of the mean time per
installation.' This latter estimate incorporates both the average time per install for each sampled
area and the installation activity level for each area. For the VCR Same, VCR Separate, and
Trouble Call Timet variables, installation activity levels were not available and estimates for
these variables are provided based only on the average time per install for each sampled area.
A further description of the sampling design and a summary of the statistical analyses
conducted are given below. Estimates of the population mean and total for each variable, the
standard errors for these estimates, and the corresponding coefficients of variation are given in
the Appendix.
' For the Unwired variable, this estimate is a weighted average of Unwired-Aerial and Unwired-
Underground installations.
2 The Trouble Call Time is based on the average of inside wire service calls, customer-owned
equipment calls and customer education calls, assuming equal activity levels for each.

Sampling Plan
The population consists of 110 management areas managed by Comcast at year-end 2004.
These areas vary widely in size, as evidenced by the variation in the number of subscribers, a
measure of the area size (Appendix, page Al). In addition, the principal study variables are
closely,related to the size of the areas. It is well known that stratified sampling can give large
gains in precision when these conditions are satisfied, with stratification resulting in a smaller
variance for the estimated mean or total than would result from a comparable simple random
sample.
Available Prior Data
Several sets of reference data from previous years were available to assist in determining the
strata, the sample size, the allocation of the sample to the strata, and the areas to be included in
the sample. These data included:
• The number of subscribers (basic)for each of 422 systems as of October 1996.
• Year-end values for the two primary study variables, End Amount (customer equipment
cost) and Total (labor) Hours, for each of 236 regulated systems from the 1995
population_
• Sample data from previous years.
The 1995 data yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.92 and .92 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The Pearson correlation coefficients
were .93 between number of subscribers and Total Hours and .94 between number of
subscribers and End Amount. These high correlations suggest the use of number of subscribers
as an appropriate stratification variable for estimating the company-wide End Amount and Total
Hours. Additionally, sample data collected each year from 1996 to present also support this
approach, with the analogous correlations similarly large. Finally, the 20 areas included the
2004 sample yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of .92 and .92 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The analogous Pearson correlations
were .86 and .86. There is no reason to believe that these correlations would be much different
for the entire population.
Sample Allocation
Strata and sample allocation were determined to minimize the variance of the estimated totals.
Optimal allocation was chosen over proportional allocation due to the previously mentioned
wide variation in area sizes. When the population consists of large and small institutions
stratified by some measure of size, variances are typically much greater for the larger
institutions, making proportional allocation inefficient. In this case, optimal allocation will result in
a smaller variance for the estimated total than proportional allocation. Generally optimal
allocation will require a larger sample size in a given stratum if the stratum is larger, the stratum
is more variable internally, or sampling is cheaper in the stratum.
An optimal allocation (assuming equal sampling cost per unit for all strata)was determined
using customer equipment cost and labor hour variance estimates from prior data_ The sampled
3 See, for example, Cochran (1977), p. 101.
Comcast Cable Communications Report—2004 Data,p.3
areas were selected randomly within each stratum from the August 2004 population frame of all
areas. The sample sizes and final stratum sizes are as follows:
Stratum Number of Subscribers Stratum Size Sample Size
1 Less than 150,000 48 7
2 150,000 to 300,000 38 g
3 300,000 to 400,000 13 2
4 More than 400,000 11 3
TOTAL 110 20
This author selected a stratified random sample of twenty areas, data was collected and
recorded by Comcast, and the author performed the statistical analysis contained herein.
Summary of Results
The twenty systems sampled in 2004 covered approximately 4.5 million of the 21.5 million
subscribers (21%).4 The complete analysis included calculation of the desired estimates and
their standard errors for each of the thirteen study variables, including three analyses for each of
the seven Installation Time variables 4 through 10 (see page 2): average time per install, activity
levels (number of installs), and total hours of install activity. As mentioned previously, the final
Unwired Time variable is a weighted average of Unwired-Aerial and Unwired-Underground.Also
mentioned previously, installation activity levels were not available for the three remaining
installation related variables, VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble Call Time, and estimates
for these variables are provided based only on the average time per install for each sampled
area. For the Trouble Call Time variable, inside wire service calls, customer-owned equipment
calls, and customer education calls were averaged, assuming equal activity levels, to obtain an
estimate and standard error for the combined average trouble call time (per call).
The sample data, estimates, associated standard errors, and coefficients of variation are
contained in the Appendix. The coefficient of variation (CV) reflects the relative precision of the
estimate. For the two primary study variables, the CV values are 10.1% and 8.8% (Appendix,
page A6). These values are quite satisfactory. The U.S. Bureau of the Census typically seeks a
CV of 15%, while the Consumer Products Safety Commission requires a CV of 33% or less in
its estimates of the number of accidents (Gastwirth, page 494)_
The final estimates for the two primary variables and the HSC are:
END AMOUNT: Estimated Total = $851,487,538
TOTAL HOURS: Estimated Total = 22,929,479
4 There were a small number of missing installation time values in the sample data—three Move
Outlet,four VCR Same,and three VCR Separate. These missing values resulted in an appropriate
reduction in sample size when computing the standard errors for these three variables. In addition, the
within-stratum variances for these variables were imputed using the average of the other strata variances,
a strategy supported by the consistency of these values across strata (indeed, for these installation time
variables, within the entire population).The missing values should have little effect on the overall
conclusions.

2004 ANNUAL FILING- FCC FORM 1205
PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the steps and methodologies behind the
preparation of FCC Form 1205 for systems owned and managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC and Comcast Cable Communications Holdings, Inc. ("Comcast").
Comcast has chosen to aggregate its equipment costs at the company level as provided by the
Federal Communication Commission's Report and Order released June 7, 1997 (DA 96-57).
The cost data included in the 2004 Form 1205 was obtained from the books and records at the
company level of Comcast as of December 31, 2004- The average hours per installation, costs
and hours of installation and maintenance of customer equipment were estimated based upon a
sample of Comcast's cable systems. Please see the enclosed "Sampling Plan & Analysis For
Comcast Cable System Rates" for more details.
SCHEDULE A -- CAPITAL COSTS OF SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Line A Represents the types of equipment necessary for installation and maintenance of cable
facilities such as vehicles and tools.
Line B Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2004.
Line C Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2004.
Line D Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (6.74%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated
tax depreciation. The net tax balances for 2001 through 2004 were adjusted to
account for tax basis bonus depreciation.
Line G4a Represents interest expense for Comcast Corporation taken from the company's 10K
for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Line G4b Represents total net assets of Comcast Corporation taken from the company's 10K for
the year ended December 31, 2004. Total net assets equal total assets less total
current assets.
Line J Represents annual depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was taken from the
books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2004.

SCHEDULE B --ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES FOR SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Schedule B lists all annual operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for installation and
maintenance of all cable facilities for the year ended December 31, 2004. Such expenses were
obtained from the books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2004 and are summarized as
follows:
Schedule B Schedule B Analysis
Salaries &Benefits Salaries, Commissions, Employee Benefits, and
Payroll Taxes

Utilities Utilities
Other Taxes Real and Personal Property Taxes
Other I Contract Labor, Converter Maintenance and Repair,
Other 2 Vehicle Expense-Gas and Oil, Vehicle Expense-
Maintenance, Rentals/Lease Expense, and Insurance
SCHEDULE C -- CAPITAL COSTS OF LEASED CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT
Line A Represents customer equipment for which there is a separately calculated charge. The
following items of equipment will have a separately calculated charge: converters for
"basic-only" customers, converters for customers receiving a level of service above
the basic tier (except HDTV-capable and DVR-capable converters), HDTV-capable
and DVR-capable converters, CableCARDs and remotes.
Line B Represents total maintenance and service hours for remotes and converters. Hours
were obtained from system personnel based on service call reports and the system
management's experience in performing various maintenance/service activities. If the
system utilized contract labor, those hours were included. Such hours were then
allocated 5% to remotes and 95% to converters. Please refer to Schedule C
Attachment for actual calculation.
Line D Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2004. Items such as non-addressable converters, addressable converters, remotes,
digital converters and HDTV-capable converters are included on this line.
Line E Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2004.
Line F Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (6.74%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated

account for tax basis bonus depreciation.
Line J Current provision for depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast
at December 31, 2004.
SCHEDULED --AVERAGE HOURS PER INSTALLATION
Schedule D includes the average hours for installations. The average times were based on the
sample systems' experience in actually performing such activities in 2004.
WORKSHEET FOR CALCULATING PERMITTED EQUIPMENT
AND INSTALLATION CHARGES
STEP A -- HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE
Line 4 Represents the estimated percentage of the costs reported on Schedules A and B that
relate directly to installation and maintenance of customer equipment.
Line 5 Represents the estimated amount of costs related to installation and maintenance of
customer equipment.

maintenance of regulated customer equipment and service installation in 2004,
including contract labor.
STEP F-- CHARGES FOR CHANGING SERVICE TIERS OR EQUIPMENT
Line 36b Represents the average hours for changing service tiers or equipment and equals the
same number of hours listed for upgrade of service (requiring service call) at
Schedule D, Item 2.
WORKSHEET FOR CALCULATING TOTAL EQUIPMENT
AND INSTALLATION COSTS
This worksheet has not been completed since this is the annual filing of Form 1205, and not a

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 7, 2005
TO: Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler
Members, Renton City Council
FROM: Bonnie Walton, City Clerk/Cable Manager, x6502
SUBJECT: Comcast Cable Rates
Under Renton's franchise with Comcast Cable Communications, the City has authority
over increases in rates now called "limited cable service"rates by Comcast. Each June,
an evaluation of the annual rate increase is made, utilizing standard FCC calculation
guidelines. At that time, comments from City subscribers are invited through
notifications in the local newspaper, Channel 21 and the website, and, depending upon
public response, a public hearing by the City Council may be held. As you may recall,
limited cable service rates, over which the City does have authority, remained at $12.48
per month, excluding fees and taxes, as of July 1, 2004.
Recently Comcast has notified the City that effective with the January 2005 customer
billing statements, rates on certain cable services for Renton citizens will increase. The
rate for limited cable service, however, is not affected; it will remain at$12.48 per month.
For your information, however,rates on service now called"basic cable service"rates by
Comcast, over which the City does not have authority, are increasing from $39.99 to
$42.99 per month effective January 1, 2005.
If you have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at x6502 or by
e-mail.

Dear Ms. Walton:
Comcast has been the City of Renton's cable company for two years. When we became your cable
company, we promised that we would work hard to upgrade our cable services, offer useful new products
and deliver improved customer service. We think you will agree that we have kept our promises by
offering more new channels and introducing new products like High Definition Television and Video on
Demand. In addition, we are working hard to offer more new products like digital video recorders so that
our customers have more choices and more control over their television viewing.
Comcast is committed to continuing to provide our customers in the City of Renton with excellent picture
quality, the finest variety of programming choices and improved customer service. We realize that our
customers have other alternatives for entertainment and we're working hard to offer the best choice and
value in the industry. We have invested in significant technical improvements that advance the reliability
and quality of our cable services, added new channels, and substantially invested in the improvement of
the customer service we provide.
To reflect the current value of the products and services we deliver, effective January 1, 2005, we will be
adjusting the prices for our analog and digital cable service levels. Customers will be notified of these
adjustments by legal notice on or about November 26, 2004 and by bill message. The specific
adjustments and their respective service levels are set forth in the enclosed legal notice.
If you have any questions or comments,please contact me at(253)288-7496.

STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 23, 2004
Steve Kipp
Comcast
425-398-6150 office
steve_kipp @ cable.comcast.com
STATEMENT ATTRIBUTABLE TO STEVE KIPP, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS,
COMCAST, REGARDING UPCOMING ADJUSTMENTS TO COMCAST'S WASHINGTON MARKET
PRICES FOR CABLE TELEVISION SERVICE
"Comcast's Washington market will adjust cable television prices beginning in January. The
most common adjustment applies to the company's standard analog or Basic package. This package
will increase by an average of $2.80 per month, from $39.48 to $42.29 per month. The vast majority of
customers who subscribe to Limited Basic, the most affordable cable television package, will see no
adjustment in their monthly bills, while a small percentage will see an average adjustment of 19 cents
from $13.14 to $13.33 per month.
"Comcast's Washington market prices reflect the increased value of the service, including
availability of more programming choices, improvements in customer service and investments in
technical upgrades that improve the reliability and quality of the company's cable television service.
"Since acquiring AT&T Broadband in November, 2002, Comcast has added more than 200
customer service representatives to its call centers in Washington State, launched high-definition
television, and launched Comcast ON DEMAND, a video-on-demand service that gives customers
access to a library of more than 2,000 hours of programming options with just the click of a remote
control. On November 15th, Comcast launched dual-tuner digital video recorders and an enhanced
interactive program guide powered by Microsoft TV Foundation Edition software.
"Comcast is notifying customers with mailers or notices included in cable bills, and legal notices
in newspapers published in areas where prices are changing."

Airport: Development Policy Transportation(Aviation) Committee Chair Palmer presented a report regarding
Priorities, Options for the Renton Municipal Airport development policy priorities -options for
Proceeding proceeding. The Committee recommended that the following options for
proceeding, first presented at the 3/1/2007 Council workshop, be formally
adopted.
Recommended Options for Proceeding:
1. Review and clarify policies adopted in 2005 as part of the May 2005
Renton Municipal Airport Development Study.
2. Continue with financial analysis of the various layout options.
3. Enter into a memorandum of understanding with the City of Mercer Island,
outlining cooperative actions taken and those to be taken (information
sharing, Renton Airport Advisory Committee involvement, noise study, and
approach alternatives).
4. Continue with the noise study,jointly with Mercer Island.
5. Find a way to satisfy the Federal Aviation Administration's(FAA) direction
to finish the ALP (airport layout plan)work in the near term. This may
suggest that the area currently designated in one option as a corporate
aviation center would be left as a"potential future aviation center" with no
steps taken to implement it; or this area could be more vaguely labeled
"undetermined use"; or the area could be designated for a different aviation
use, and modified in the future.
6. Bring this new information together in very late 2007 or 2008.
7. Continue pursuing the LPV-WAAS (lateral precision approach with vertical
guidance) approach development by the FAA.

Citizen Comment: Hanson- Roxanne Hanson, 120 Union Ct. NE, Renton, 98059, representing GSG
Multipurpose Events Center Corporation, owners of Diamond Lil's and Freddie's Clubs, voiced support for
(Sonics& Storm Basketball) the proposed King County Events Center in Renton. She explained that since
smoking was banned in public places, business has decreased, layoffs have
resulted,and now Freddie's Club is unable to sponsor this year's 4th of July
celebration. She pointed out that the additional revenue from the events center
will provide the service industry the added income needed to be able to continue
supporting events in Renton. Ms. Hanson urged Council to do whatever it can
to support bringing the King County Events Center to Renton.
Citizen Comment: Maxwell - Marcie Maxwell, PO Box 2048, Renton, 98056, said she is proud to call Renton
Multipurpose Events Center her home and place of business, and now the rest of the Puget Sound area is
(Sonics & Storm Basketball) learning to appreciate everything Renton has to offer. She noted that new and
diverse businesses and activities are now a reality due to economic development
work and marketing partnerships. Ms. Maxwell stated that although the events
center will benefit Renton and the region, the scheduled events will cause an
increase in traffic from all directions and on all roadways. Pointing out that
solving transportation issues should be given high priority, she asked that
consideration be made for Renton neighborhoods, and for employees and
customers of Renton businesses who will continue to use the roadways.
PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
City Clerk: Cable Franchise, accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened public hearings to
Basic Program g Serve e� consider the following:
Rate&Permitted Equipment • Basic (limited) cable service rates,as calculated by Comcast Cable
& Installation Rates
Communications, LLC, in its March 1999 and March 2006 rate filings,and
proposed settlement of disputed issues: FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) Form 1235 filed by Comcast on 3/1/99, and FCC Form 1240
filed by Comcast on 4/1/2006; and
• Cable equipment and installation rates, as calculated by Comcast, in its FCC
Form 1205 rate filing of 4/1/2006, and proposed settlement of disputed
issues.
Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Wine stated that the purpose of the
public hearings is to receive public comment on whether Renton should approve
settlements with Comcast for cable television rates and adopt revised FCC rate
orders. She explained that the City grants Comcast the right to operate and
provide cable television services in Renton. Since the franchise is due to expire
in September 2008, Renton is conducting its due diligence to determine whether
Comcast is in compliance with the City's current cable franchise and applicable
laws and regulations. Included in this process is a review and audit of three rate
forms that Comcast files with the City and the FCC.
Starting with FCC Form 1205,which is used to justify the maximum permitted
rates for installation and equipment, Ms. Wine stated that Comcast is unable to
justify some of their rates. Therefore, Comcast proposes a settlement whereby a
refund plan and rate reduction will be offered to cable subscribers, which
entails: one-time refunds for most types of installation and equipment services,
and in some cases, lower-than-current rates.
Ms. Wine then reviewed FCC Forms 1235 and 1240. Form 1235 focuses on the
cable system's ability to recoup the cost of upgrading the system as it is being
expanded. She explained that the initial form filed in 1999 allowed Comcast to
charge subscribers $1.16 per month for 14 years. However, Comcast failed to
file a final FCC Form 1235. Form 1240 justifies the maximum permitted rates
that Comcast can charge for the basic cable programming. Ms. Wine noted that
March 26,2007 Renton City Council Minutes vawO 108
Comcast improperly included the business and occupation tax in the basic
service rate,and excluded the FCC regulatory fee in its calculation of maximum
permitted rates.
Ms. Wine explained that the settlement proposes the following in regard to FCC
Forms 1235 and 1240: eliminating the FCC Form 1235 fee, eliminating the
business and occupation tax, including the FCC fee in the calculation of the
FCC Form 1240 maximum permitted rates, and providing the requested
advertising revenue information. She noted that with this settlement, Comcast
will not be able to charge subscribers the additional $1.16 per month.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY NELSON,

CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE RENEWAL
REVIEW OF COMCAST FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RATE FORMS 1235 & 1240
PUBLIC HEARING
March 26, 2007
Overview. The City of Renton grants Comcast cable television the right to operate and provide
cable television services within the City. The franchise is due to expire in September 2008. As
part of the City's cable franchise renewal process, Renton is conducting its due diligence to
determine whether Comcast is in compliance with the City's current cable franchise and
applicable laws and regulations. Part of this review focuses on the cable operator's performance,
and includes a review and audit of three rate forms that Comcast files with the City and Federal
Communications Commission. The City initiated rate review on April 1, 2006 and has one year
from initiation to accept a negotiated settlement. The City Council is considering whether to
approve settlements related to these rate forms.
FCC Form 1240. In addition, Comcast files a FCC Form 1240 with the City each year, which is
the form that justifies the maximum permitted rates that Comcast can charge customers on basic
cable programming. To determine whether Comcast's April 1, 2006, Form 1240 complies with
FCC rules and decisions, Renton engaged the services of another nationally known municipal
cable rate consultant.
A preliminary review of all of the basic programming rates in the FCC Form 1240 showed that
Comcast was improperly including the Business & Occupational tax in the basic service rate
(thereby allowing Comcast to receive inflationary increases on the tax) and excluding the FCC
regulatory fee in its calculation of the its maximum permitted rate (contrary to the requirements
of a recent FCC decision).
FCC Form 1235. Finally, a third rate consultant reviewed the FCC Form 1235 rate filing by
Comcast that was filed with Renton in 1999. The FCC Form 1235 was filed when Comcast's
predecessor upgraded the cable system in Renton. It allowed the cable company to recover the
costs of the system upgrade in its rates. The preliminary form allowed Comcast to charge
subscribers an additional $1.16 per month per subscriber for approximately 14 years, based on
projected upgrade costs. Comcast was to have filed a final FCC Form 1235, based on actual
costs, when it fully completed its system upgrade, but has not done so. At the same time, the
City's cable franchise fee review has been underway to determine if Comcast was paying the
C:\DOCUME-1\BWalton\LOCALS-1\Temp\Rate review PH handout 032107_2.doc
appropriate amount of cable franchise fees to the City. Comcast and the City disagree about
whether affiliated advertising revenues should be part of the franchise fee calculation.
Regarding all the above issues, Renton's representatives and Comcast entered into discussions
that resulted in a proposed settlement of outstanding issues. The settlement proposes the
elimination of the FCC Form 1235 fee, the elimination of the B&O tax, the inclusion of the FCC
fee in the calculation of the FCC Form 1240 maximum permitted rates, and Comcast providing
the requested advertising revenue information. The major advantage of this settlement to
subscribers is that Comcast will not be able to charge subscribers up to an additional $1.16 per
month per subscriber for the next several years based upon the FCC Form 1235.
The Administration is recommending approval of the settlement through the Council's adoption
of a resolution enacting a revised rate order. Prior to adopting the rate order, the City is seeking
public comment through tonight's public hearing.

CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE RENEWAL
REVIEW OF COMCAST FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RATE FORM 1205
PUBLIC HEARING
March 26, 2007
Overview. The City of Renton grants Comcast cable television the right to operate and provide
cable television services within the City. The franchise is due to expire in September 2008. As
part of the City's cable franchise renewal process, Renton is conducting its due diligence to
determine whether Comcast is in compliance with the City's current cable franchise and
applicable laws and regulations. Part of this review focuses on the cable operator's performance,
and includes a review and audit of three rate forms that Comcast files with the City and Federal
Communications Commission. The City initiated rate review on April 1, 2006 and has one year
from initiation to accept a negotiated settlement. The City Council is considering whether to
approve settlements related to these rate forms.
FCC Form 1205. Every year, Comcast files a(FCC) Form 1205 with the City, which is the form
that justifies the maximum permitted rates that Comcast can charge customers on basic cable
installations and equipment. To determine whether Comcast's Form 1205 complies with FCC
rules and decisions, the City of Renton engaged the services of nationally known municipal cable
rate consultants. Because the FCC Form 1205 is a national rate filing, based on aggregated costs
from sample cable systems around the country, the City saved money in this review by joining
with several other cities.
The consultants have reviewed all of the equipment and installation rates in the FCC Form 1205
and determined that Comcast could not justify many of its maximum permitted rates. Following
this determination, Renton's representatives and Comcast entered into discussions about what the
appropriate maximum permitted rates should be. These discussions resulted in a proposed
settlement that would result in lowered maximum permitted rates on nearly all of Comcast's
equipment and installation activities. In some cases, rates will be lower than Comcast is currently
charging subscribers, so one-time refunds will be provided for some rates. Exhibit 1 provides a
summary of the proposed lower permitted rates as suggested by the settlement.
The Administration is recommending approval of the settlement through the Council's adoption
of a resolution enacting a revised rate order. Prior to adopting the rate order, the City is seeking
public comment through tonight's public hearing.

CITY OF RENTON
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Renton City Council has fixed the 26th day of
March, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. as the date and time of a public hearing to be held in the
seventh floor Council Chambers of Renton City Hall, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA
98055, to consider the following:
Basic (limited) cable service rates, as calculated by Comcast Cable television in
its March 1999 and March 2006 rate filings, and proposed settlement of disputed
issues: FCC Forms 1235 filed by Comcast on March 1, 1999, and FCC Form
1240 filed by Comcast on April 1, 2006.
The City of Renton is currently conducting a proceeding on the FCC Form 1235 filed by
Comcast on March 1, 1999 and the FCC Form 1240 filed by Comcast on April 1, 2006.
In its FCC Form 1235, Comcast calculated a network upgrade add-on that could be
included in the basic programming service rate to recover the costs of the network
upgrade performed in the City back in 1999. In its FCC Form 1240, Comcast is
proposing maximum rates and charges for basic service programming. Basic service
consists of over-the-air broadcast stations, public, educational and government access
channels, and any other programming Comcast chooses to add to its basic (limited) tier of
service. The City does not regulate the rates for any programming not carried on the
basic (limited) service tier, including (but not limited to)programming offered on a pay-
per-channel or pay-per-program basis. Under federal law, the rates for all programming
not included in the basic service tier are unregulated.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City is conducting due diligence for the cable franchise renewal process to determine whether
Comcast is in compliance with the City's cable franchise and applicable laws and regulations. Comcast
files an annual FCC Form 1205 with the City, to justify its maximum permitted rates for basic cable
equipment and installation. The City's cable franchise renewal consultant, Bradley & Guzzetta, and
consulting team, Front Range Consulting, Inc., and Ashpaugh & Sculco, have audited all annual filings,
rate forms, and equipment and installation rates, and determined that Comcast could not justify many of
its maximum permitted rates.
As reported to Council in the Committee of the Whole briefing of February 5, 2007, the consulting team
reached a proposed settlement on preferred rates on behalf of the City(see settlement letter). Our cable
franchise consulting team recommends acceptance of the settlement. The City initiated this review on
April 1, 2006, and has one year from initiation of rate review to accept the settlement, so a public hearing
and resolution accepting the settlement must be adopted by April 1, 2007. The settlement will result in
lower maximum permitted rates for installation and equipment, and subscriber refunds in some cases.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Set a public hearing to consider approving the settlement terms for the Rate Form 1205 negotiated with
Comcast on behalf of the City, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Settlement
Agreement.

Re: RESOLUTION of COMCAST'S FCC FORM 1205 RATES for 2006
Dear Ms. Walton:
I am writing on behalf of Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, and its affiliates
(collectively. "Comcast"or the "Company")to resolve issues related to Comcast's FCC
Form 1205 for 2006 which have been identified by your consultants Ashpaugh & Sculco,
CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc. (the "Consultants"). Comcast believes that
its proposal as set forth herein, which reflects recent discussions between Comcast and
the Consultants, if accepted, would minimize the substantial administrative burdens,
uncertainty, and delay otherwise associated with the rate review process.
This proposal is being made to each of the franchise communities that participated
in the consolidated review of Comcast's 2006 FCC Farm 1205 conducted by the
Consultants. The atTected communities(the "Communities")are identified in Appendix
A hereto.
TERMS OF AGREEMENT RE 2006 RAVE REVIEW:
1. The maximum permitted equipment and installation rates for the applicable period
of the 2006 FCC Form 1205 (based upon costs for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2005) will be those listed in Appendix B.
2. Based on Appendix B, if an actual rate in a particular Community exceeds a
revised "maximum permitted"rate, Comcast shall lower that rate to the maximum
permitted rate and issue credits to local customers without claiming the benefit of
any potential refund"offsetting" in calculating the amount of refunds owed.
Comcast will provide each Community a refund plan detailing the refund amounts
`rd *M01
Page 2
January 22, 2007
within 45 days of the acceptance of this proposed resolution by each Community.
Rate changes and credits shall be issued within 60 days of the issuance of a rate
order approving Comcast's FCC Form 1205 for 2006.
3. The credits will be paid in the form of a one-time bill credit,which will be
identified on customer bills as "Rate Credit."
Conditions
1. Comcast shall issue the credits described above regardless of a finding of
effective competition in any of the Communities subject to a rate order approving
equipment and installation rates consistent with those listed on Appendix B.
2. By extending this proposal, Comcast does not admit any error in the Company's
established approach to the FCC Form 1205, and this offer shall not be deemed to
be an admission of any such error in any civil or administrative proceeding.
3. Comcast agrees to not appeal to the FCC any Communities Rate Order that is
consistent with the Terms, Conditions and rates set forth in this proposed
settlement.
4. Because the Communities pursued a consolidated 2006 rate review,Comcast
must proceed on a consolidated basis in extending this proposal. The proposal is
therefore contingent on 90%of the Communities (as measured by customer
count)adopting rate orders within twelve(12)months from the filing of the Form
1205 ("Final Approval"). If more than 10%of the Communities (as measured by
customer count)fail to adopt the rate orders, Comcast reserves its right to
withdraw the proposal,notwithstanding any intervening approval action in any
particular Community.

Ashpaugh& Sculco, CPAs,PLC ("A&S")and Front Range Consulting, Inc.. ("FRC")
(collectively"Consultants')are pleased to provide the 2006 Comcast Form 1205 Participating
Communities' ("Participants')this Final Report regarding the FCC Four 1205 rate filing made
by Comcast Cable Communications,LLC("Comcast")during 2006.
L REPORT SYNOPSIS
The Consultants recommend that each participant adopt the proposed resolution of the identified
Form 1205 issues.. During the review of the Comcast Form 1205,the Consultants have identified
three major issues with the Form 1205 as filed by Comcast.. Those issues are:
• Contract Labor;
• Asset Depreciation Fspense and Reserve;and
• Installation Activities Outside the Customer Demarcation Point
As the Consultants identified each of these issues,the Consultants informed Comcast as to the
potential problems and requested that Comcast provide supporting information to support
Comcast's position. With respect to the Customer Demarcation Point issue, Comcast revised the
installation times.. For the other two issues,Comcast does not agree with the Consultants that
these potential issues impact the Form 1205 as filed
Based on the identification of'these issues, Comcast began discussions with the Consultants to
resolve these issues without having to have the participating LFA issue contested rate orders and
facing a long appeal process before the FCC. Comcast has proposed to address these issues by
reducing the Maximum Permitted Rates(MPR)for many of the installation and equipment
categories.. While Comcast specifically does not agree with these identified issues,the
Consultants believe that resolving these issues in the manner set forth in Comcast's proposal is
reasonable and administratively efficient The Consultants also anticipate that Comcast will
attempt to address the conceined raised by the Consultants in their-next filing but this proposed
resolution does not require them to do so.
The proposed resolution requires Comcast to provide a refund plan and to r educe rates to each
community on a community by community basis.. Comcast is also agreeing to not appeal any
Rate Order issued by a Participant that is consistent with the proposed resolution. A generic
copy of*the proposed Comcast resolution is attached to this Report.

H. SCOPE OF REPORT
The Consultants were retained by the Participants to review the FCC Form 1205 submitted by
Comcast to the Participants in 2006. As this is the thud complete review of the national Comcast
FCC Form 1205 by the Consultants,many of the issues that have been identified in the past
review are also incorporated in this filing making the impact of the continued review ofthe filing
cumulative. The Consultants based this review of'the 2006 filing on Comcast's responses to data
requests and numerous informal discussions with Comcast regarding the supporting
documentation provided by Comcast. The Consultants appreciate Comcast's willingness to have
these informal discussions in lieu of'preparing numerous detailed follow-up data requests..

IV. FCC FORM 1205 ISSUES IDENTIFIED
the Consultants have identified three issues with the Comcast filing.. The three issues are:
• Contract Labor;
• Asset Depreciation Expense and Reserve; and
• Installation Activities Outside the Customer Demarcation Point
IM). CONTRACT LABOR
The Consultants investigated the actual contract labor invoices incurred by Comcast for the
sample systems.. The review of the invoices found that the number of specific installation
activities included on the actual invoices differed significantly from the number of activities
shown on the Form 1205 supporting materials supplied by Comcast the Consultants were
concerned that the number of installations performed and billed by the contractors was
inconsistent with the number ofinstallations contained in the operational data base. Comcast in
preparing the Form 1205 used the internal operational data base as support for the number of
contractor installation and not the amounts shown on the contractor invoices. Comcast did use
the prices for the individual contractor installations form the actual invoices but applied its
internal number of installations to the prices to determine the amount of contractor labor dollars
to include in the Form 1205.
If'the installation activities are taken from the contractor actual invoices,the number of'
installation activities would change dramatically and would generally reduce the number of
installations and hours associated with installation activities As a result,the Consultants believe
that the installation rates as filed are overstated as it uses an inflated Hourly Service Charge.
In the proposed resolution,Comcast has agreed to lower the Hourly service Charge from$34.24
to$32.50 which should capture a large portion of the issue identified.
I A), ASSET DEPRECIATION EXPENSE AND RESERVE
the Consultants investigated the computations by Comcast ofthe asset depreciation expense and
reserve calculation for Schedules A and C. the primary concerns were(1)continuation of
calculating depreciation expense after the asset has been fully depreciated, (2)errors in the
amount of depreciation and(.3)error s in the amount of the reserve.. Comcast disagrees with the
identified concerns.. The Consultants provided Comcast with a variety of examples of each of
these issues. In a few cases, Comcast was able to show that asset retirements were causing the
apparent conflicts. However,in other cases, Comcast was not able to provide sufficient details to
support the depreciation expense and reserve included in the filing. For example, Comcast
continued to record depreciation past the depreciable life of the asset and continued to show a net
book value even though the depreciable life had expired.
The principal impact of'these issues is related to the converter category of assets. Comcast has
as part of this proposed resolution agreed to seduce the converter late from$4.01 to $.3.80 for the
most common converter category. The Consultants believe that this reduction is reasonable

IV(C). INSTALLAIION ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE CUSTOMER
DEMARCATION POINI
The Consultants investigated the potential that Comcast has included installation times outside of
the customer demarcation point. The FCC rules allow for a cable opeiator to only include
installation costs associated with those activities from within twelve inches(12")from the point
of connection of the cable to the residence. In reviewing the activities associated with the
contract labor costs described above,it was very clear that the contractors routinely included
activities related to a drop and drop replacement as part of the activities associated with an
installation. The activities and associated costs outside of the 12"from the point ofconnection
are part of the basic service tate and cannot be included in the installation rates unless all of the
hours associated with that outside installations are included in the installation and maintenance
hours.. Comcast provided an analysis of the"outside"activities that it routinely prepares for
another regulatory agency. Ihis analysis showed the amount of time associated with these
outside drop activities.
Comcast's resolution incorporates these revised installation hours.. The revised hours are
summarized below.

In several of these categories,the Consultants do not believe that Comcast has reduced the times
enough associated with these outside activities but at least Comcast in this resolution has agreed
to remove these outside activities. The Consultant hope that Comcast will continue to review

these installation times to ensure that all times associated with outside activities are eliminated
from the filing.
V. POIENTLU RAIE IMPACIS
The potential rate impacts for the FCC Form 1205 issues identified above are difficult to
quantify because the Consultants cannot estimate them without significantly more information
from Comcast. the Consultants believe that the proposed resolution offered by Comeast at least
addresses these identified issues and removes a reasonable amount ofthese issues from the
resulting rates..
Comcast has agreed to provide refund plans to each participant an individual refund plan
detailing the amount of iefimds by category. Comcast has proposed to refund the total dollars to
each cable subscriber as a one time bill credit The Consultants believe that is reasonable.
VI. CONCLUSION
The Consultants recommend that the Participants issue a Rate Order consistent with the
Settlement MPRs identified in Appendix B of the genetic settlement letter attached to this Final
Report.,

Re: RESOLUTION of'COMCASI'S FCC FORM 1205 RAIES for2006
Deaf:
I am writing on behalf'o f'Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, and its affiliates
(collectively, "Comcast"or-the"Company")to resolve issues related to Comcast's FCC
Form 1205 for 2006 which have been identified by your consultants Ashpaugh& Sculco,
CPAs,PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc.. (the "Consultants"). Comcast believes that
its proposal as set forth herein,which reflects recent discussions between Comcast and
the Consultants,if accepted, would minimize the substantial administrative burdens,
uncertainty, and delay otherwise associated with the rate review process.
This proposal is being made to each of the franchise communities that participated
in the consolidated review of Comcast's 2006 FCC Form 1205 conducted by the
Consultants. The affected communities(the"Communities")are identified in Appendix
A hereto..
TERMS OF AGREEMENT RE 2006 RATE REVIEW:
1. The maximum permitted equipment and installation rates for the applicable period
of'the 2006 FCC Form 1205(based upon costs for the fiscal year ending
December 31,2005)will be those listed in Appendix B.
2.. Based on Appendix B, if'an actual rate in a particular Community exceeds a
revised "maximum perrnitted"rate, Comcast shall lower that rate to the maximum
permitted rate and issue credits to local customers without claiming the benefit of
any potential refund"offsetting"in calculating the amount of'refunds owed.,
Comcast will provide each Community a refund plan detailing the refund amounts
within 45 days of the acceptance of'this proposed resolution by each Community.
Rate changes and credits shall be issued within 60 days of'the issuance of*a rate
order approving Comcast's FCC Form 1205 for 2006,
1 The credits will be paid in the form of a one-time bill credit, which will be
identified on customer bills as "Rate Credit."
Nor
FOR SETTLEMENT PURPOSES ONLY
INADMISSIBLE AS EVIDENCE
Conditions
1 Comcast shall issue the credits described above regardless of a finding of
effective competition in any of the Communities subject to a rate order approving
equipment and installation rates consistent with those listed on Appendix B.
2. By extending this proposal,Comcast does not admit any error in the C.ompany's
established approach to the FCC Form 1205, and this offer shall not be deemed to
be an admission of'any such error in any civil or administrative proceeding..
3 Comcast agrees to not appeal to the FCC any Communities Rate Order that is
consistent with the Terms, Conditions and rates set forth in this proposed
settlement..
4. Because the Communities put sued a consolidated 2006 rate review, Comcast
must proceed on a consolidated basis in extending this proposal. The proposal is
therefore contingent on 90% of'the Communities(as measured by customer
count)adopting rate orders within twelve(12)months from the filing of the Form
1205("Final Approval"). If'more than 10%of the Communities (as measured by
customer count)fail to adopt the rate orders, Comcast reserves its tight to
withdraw the proposal,notwithstanding any intervening approval action in any
particular Community..

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City is conducting due diligence for the cable franchise renewal process to determine whether Comcast is in
compliance with the City's cable franchise and applicable laws and regulations.
• Comcast files an annual FCC Form 1240 with the City to justify maximum permitted rates for basic cable
programming. The City's cable franchise renewal consultant review found that Comcast improperly
included the Business and Occupations tax in the basic service rate(allowing inflationary increases in the
tax); and excluded the FCC regulatory fee in its calculation of the maximum permitted rate(contrary to
recent FCC requirements).
• Comcast's predecessor filed FCC Form 1235 with the City in 1999, allowing the cable company to
recoup system upgrade costs in its rates. The preliminary Form allowed Comcast to charge subscribers an
additional $1.16 per month per subscriber based on projected upgrades. Though the upgrade was
completed, Comcast did not file a final FCC Form 1235. At the same time, a franchise fee review is now
underway to audit Comcast franchise fee payments. The City has requested affiliated advertising revenues
of Comcast,but it has refused since it disagrees that advertising revenues should be included in franchise
fee calculations.
A proposed settlement of outstanding issues includes: elimination of the FCC Form 1235 fee; elimination of the
B&O tax from the basic service rate and Form 1240 filing; and Comcast would provide affiliated advertising
revenue information. The settlement will result in completion of the franchise fee review; lower maximum
permitted rates; and subscriber refunds in some cases. As reported to Council on February 5, the consulting team
recommends acceptance of the settlement to move the franchise fee review forward.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Set a public hearing to consider adoption of Settlement Documents and related terms, set maximum basic
programming service rates, and authorize the City Clerk to execute the Settlement Agreement.

1240 and 1205. The forms represent Comcast Cable Communications,LLC's annual filing for adjustments

PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
2009 ANNUAL FILING
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the approach and assumptions used in preparing the
2009 annual filing of FCC Form 1240 for systems owned and/or managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC. Where an FCC Order or Public Notice applies, it is referenced by number.
Questions about the mathematical calculations and formulas used in the Form 1240 and the Worksheets
can be referenced in the"Instructions for FCC Form 1240."
MODULE A-MAXIMUM PERMITTED RATE FROM PREVIOUS FILING
Line Al The current maximum permitted rate equals the maximum permitted rate from the
prior Form 1240, Line I9.
MODULE B: SUBSCRIBERSHIP
Line B1/B2 The average subscribership for True-Up Period 1 is calculated by taking the average of
the actual subscribers for each month of the True-Up Period indicated in Question 6 of
FCC Form 1240. For systems with greater than 12 months of actual subscribers, Line 132
will also be completed using the same approach.
Line 133 The estimated average subscribership for the Projected Period is calculated using
historical subscriber growth for the most recent 12 months ending as of the last month of
the True-Up Period'. The historical growth percentage is then applied to the last month
of actual subscribers to project subscribers through the end of the Projected Period
indicated in Question 5 of FCC Form 1240. The Projected Period subscriber calculation
may be adjusted in areas where seasonal fluctuations in subscribers are prevalent.
MODULE C: INFLATION INFORMATION
Line C3/C4 The inflation factor for the True-Up Period is calculated using the Gross National
Product Price Index. The individual factors used for each month of the True-Up Period
reflect the quarterly factors released by the FCC summarized as follows:
Quarte r Months Covered Inflation
3Q07 Jul-07— Sep-07 1.03% (FCC DA 08-65)
4Q07 Oct-07—Dec-07 2.45% (FCC DA 08-866)
1Q08 Jan-08—Mar-08 2.68% (FCC DA 08-1360)
2Q08 Apr-08—Jun-08 1.11% (FCC DA 08-2252)
3Q08 Jul-08—Sep-08 3.92% (FCC DA 08-2825)
' For recently acquired systems,the subscriber growth percentage is calculated using historical subscriber growth for
the most recent period of actual data available.
2009-1240(4/1/2009)
MODULE C: INFLATION INFORMATION (continued)
The appropriate inflation factor is entered on Worksheet 1 for each month of the True-
Up Period and divided by twelve. The number 1.0 is then added to the result and entered
on Line 113 of Worksheet 1. For systems with a True-Up Period 2 (greater than 12
months of actual data), Line C4 will also be completed using the same approach.
MODULE G: MPR FOR TRUE-UP PERIOD 2
Module G is used to calculate the Maximum Permitted Rate (MPR) for True-Up Period
2. True-Up Period 2 will be completed when there are more than 12 months of actual
data to be trued-up. Worksheets used to calculate the numbers used in Module G are
attached to the Form 1240 as applicable.
WORKSHEET 7-EXTERNAL COSTS
Line 702 Retransmission consent fees for the period included on Line 702 represent the total
amount of retransmission costs for the period based on system expenses for True-Up
Period 11 months, Projected Period 12 months and applied to the average subscribership
on Line B 1 and Line B3.
Line 707 Franchise related costs included on Line 707 are taken from Attachment 5, "Franchise
Related Costs." The attachment provides information on how the franchise-related costs
are calculated for each period, e.g., the type of cost being passed through and the number
of months of recovery.
WORKSHEET 8-TRUE-UP RATE CHARGED
Line 813 The True-Up Rate Charged reflects the actual rate charged included in the FCC Form
1240 calculation of the maximum permitted rate.*
{Franchises with rate ordered rates on Line Al will have a corresponding reduction in the applicable Module D
segment(s). For franchises that have paid refunds pursuant to a rate order,Line Al and Module D will match the
rate ordered rates and the Worksheet 8 rate will match the rate ordered rate for the applicable months.Additionally,
for franchises with FCC Form 1235,rates on Worksheet 8 will match Line Al per FCC Order DA 99-1779.

2008 ANNUAL FILING-FCC FORM 1205
PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the steps and methodologies behind the
preparation of FCC Form 1205 for systems owned and managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC and Comcast Cable Communications Holdings, Inc. ("Comcast").
Comcast has chosen to aggregate its equipment costs at the company level as provided by the
Federal Communication Commission's Report and Order released June 7, 1997 (DA 96-57). The
cost data included in the 2008 Forth 1205 was obtained from the books and records at the
company level of Comcast as of December 31, 2008. The average hours per installation, costs and
hours of installation and maintenance of customer equipment were estimated based upon a sample
of Comcast's cable systems. Please see the enclosed "Sampling Plan & Analysis for Comcast
Cable System Rates" for more details.
SCHEDULE A—CAPITAL COSTS OF SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Line A Represents the types of equipment necessary for installation and maintenance of cable
facilities such as vehicles and tools.
Line B Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2008.
Line C Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2008.
Line D Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (7.10%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated tax
depreciation. The net tax balances for 2001 through 2004 were adjusted to account for
tax basis bonus depreciation.
Line G4a Represents interest expense for Comcast Corporation taken from the company's l OK
for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Line G4b Represents total net assets of Comcast Corporation taken from the company's 10K for
the year ended December 31, 2008. Total net assets equal total assets less total current
assets and goodwill.
Line J Represents annual depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was taken from the
books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2008.
COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS,LLC/COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS,INC.

SCHEDULE C—CAPITAL COSTS OF LEASED CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT
Line A Represents customer equipment for which there is a separately calculated charge. The
following items of equipment will have a separately calculated charge: converters for
"basic-only"customers, converters for customers receiving a level of service above the
basic tier (except HDTV-capable and DVR-capable converters), HDTV-capable and
DVR-capable converters, CableCARDs and remotes.
Line B Represents total maintenance and service hours for remotes and converters. Hours
were obtained from system personnel based on service call reports and the system
management's experience in performing various maintenance/service activities. If the
system utilized contract labor, those hours were included. Such hours were then
allocated 5% to remotes and 95% to converters. Please refer to Schedule C
Attachment for actual calculation.
Line D Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2008. Items such as non-addressable converters, addressable converters, remotes,
digital converters, digital video recorders, HDTV-capable converters, and
CableCARDs are included on this line.
Line E Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2008.
Line F Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (7.10%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated tax
depreciation. The net tax balances for 2001 through 2004 were adjusted to account for
tax basis bonus depreciation.

SAMPLING PLAN&ANALYSIS Fok COMCAST CABLE SYSTEM RATES
—Year 2008 Data—
Introduction
The primary purpose of this project is to provide estimates of the company-wide total and/or
average for the following variables in the population of cable management entities owned and/or
managed at or near year-end 2008 by Comcast Cable Communications (hereinafter Comcast):
Primary Variables
1. Customer Equipment Maintenance and Installation Costs (End Amount)
2. Labor Hours for Maintenance and Installation of Customer Equipment and Services (Total
Hours)
Secondary Variable
3. Converter Maintenance Hours (Converter Hours)
Installation Time Variables (Other Secondary)
4. Unwired Home
5. Pre-Wired Home
6. Activate Prewired Outlet
7. AO Same
8. AO Separate
9. Move Outlet
10. Upgrade
11. Downgrade
12. VCR Same
13. VCR Separate
14. Trouble Calls
The estimates derived through the sampling plan described herein are used for regulatory
requirements, specifically FCC Form 1205. Values for the two primary variables are used to
obtain an estimate of the Hourly Service Charge(HSC).
For Installation Time variables 4 through 11, estimates of the population total hours spent on
installation and the population number of installations(activity levels)are used to acquire an
estimate of the mean time per installation.' This latter estimate incorporates both the average
time per install for each sampled entity and the installation activity level for each entity. For the
VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble Call Timet variables, installation activity levels were
Installation time data for these variables was obtained for In-House and Contractor installs,with final
estimates based on a weighted average of the two types.For the Unwired variable,the estimate is a weighted
average of Unwired-Aerial and Unwired-Underground installations(with each of these latter variables incorporating
both In-House and Contractor installs).
2 The Trouble Call Time is based on the average of inside wire service calls,customer-owned equipment calls
and customer education calls,assuming equal activity levels for each.
Comcast Cable Communications Report—2008 Data 2
not available and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per
install for each sampled entity.
In addition to the above-mentioned estimates,maximum permitted rates and associated margins
of error at 95 percent confidence are derived for each of the installation type variables.
A further description of the sampling design and a summary of the statistical analyses conducted
are given below. Relevant formulas are provided in a separate section below entitled"Formulas
for Estimates and Standard Errors."Final estimates of the population mean and total for each
variable, the standard errors for these estimates, and the corresponding coefficients of variation
are given in the Appendix.
Sampling Plan
The population consists of 116 management entities managed by Comcast at year-end 2008.
These entities vary widely in size, as evidenced by the variation in the number of subscribers, a
measure of the entity size(Appendix, page A1). In addition, the principal study variables are
closely related to the size of the entities. It is well known that stratified sampling can give large
gains in precision when these conditions are satisfied, with stratification resulting in a smaller
variance for the estimated mean or total than would result from a comparable simple random
sample.
Available Prior Data
Several sets of reference data from previous years were available to assist in determining the
strata, the sample size, the allocation of the sample to the strata, and the entities to be included in
the sample. These data included:
• The number of subscribers (basic) for each of 422 systems as of October 1996.
• Year-end values for the two primary study variables, End Amount(customer equipment
cost) and Total (labor)Hours, for each of 236 regulated systems from the 1995
population.
• Sample data from previous years(1996—2007).
The 1995 data yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.92 and .92 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The Pearson correlation coefficients
were .93 between number of subscribers and Total Hours and .94 between number of subscribers
and End Amount. These high correlations suggest the use of number of subscribers as an
appropriate stratification variable for estimating the company-wide End Amount and Total
Hours. Additionally, sample data collected each year from 1996 to present also support this
approach, with the analogous correlations similarly large. Finally,the 20 areas included the 2008
sample yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.983 and .976 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The analogous Pearson correlations
3 See,for example,Cochran(1977),p. 101.
Comcast Cable Communications Report-2008 Data 3
were .955 and .920. There is no reason to believe that these correlations would be much different
for the entire population.
Sample Allocation
Strata and sample allocation were determined to minimize the variance of the estimated totals.
Optimal allocation was chosen over proportional allocation due to the previously mentioned
wide variation in area sizes. When the population consists of large and small institutions
stratified by some measure of size, variances are typically much greater for the larger
institutions, making proportional allocation inefficient. In this case, optimal allocation will result
in a smaller variance for the estimated total than proportional allocation. Generally optimal
allocation will require a larger sample size in a given stratum if the stratum is larger, the stratum
is more variable internally,or sampling is cheaper in the stratum.
An optimal allocation (assuming equal sampling cost per unit for all strata)was determined using
customer equipment cost and labor hour variance estimates from prior data. The sampled areas
were selected randomly within each stratum from the August 2008 population frame of all
areas.4 The sample sizes and final stratum sizes are as follows:
Stratum Number of Subscribers Stratum Size Sample Size

The author selected a stratified random sample of twenty areas, data was collected and recorded
by Comcast, and the author performed the statistical analysis.
Summary of Results
The twenty systems sampled in 2008 covered approximately 5.1 million of the 24.2 million
subscribers(21.3%). The complete analysis included calculation of the desired estimates and
their standard errors for each of the fourteen study variables, including three analyses—average
time per install, activity levels(number of installs), and total hours of install activity—for each
of the eight Installation Time variables 4 through 11 (see page 2). As mentioned previously, both
In-House and Contractor installs were taken into consideration for these Installation Time
variables and the final Unwired Time variable is a weighted average of Unwired-Aerial and
4 Although there were minor changes in the population between the date the sample was selected and the last
day of 2008,there is no reason to believe the final set of population entities is not representative with respect to the
study variables of the set of entities at the time of sample selection.The sample of twenty can be considered a
random(stratified)sample from the relevant population.
Comcast Cable Communications Report-2008 Data 4
Unwired-Underground. Also mentioned previously,installation activity levels were not available
for the three remaining installation related variables,VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble
Call Time, and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per
install for each sampled area. For the Trouble Call Time variable, inside wire service calls,
customer-owned equipment calls,and customer education calls were averaged, assuming equal
activity levels, to obtain an estimate and standard error for the combined average Trouble Call
Time(per call).
Primary Estimates and Precision
The sample data, estimates, associated standard errors, and coefficients of variation are contained
in the Appendix. The coefficient of variation(CV) reflects the relative precision of the estimate.
For the two primary study variables, the CV values are 3.1% and 2.7%(Appendix,page A6).
These values are quite satisfactory. The U.S. Bureau of the Census typically seeks a CV of 15%,
while the Consumer Products Safety Commission requires a CV of 33%or less in its estimates of
the number of accidents (Gastwirth, p. 494).
The final estimates for the two primary variables and the HSC are:
END AMOUNT: Estimated Total=$954,928,439
TOTAL HOURS: Estimated Total=28,753,795
HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE: $33.21
Given Total Costs of$5,874,498,434, the estimated End Amount equates to a Customer
Equipment and Installation Percentage of 16.3%.
Combined Ratio Estimate and Margin of Error for Hourly Service Charge
Hourly Service Charge(HSC) is the ratio of End Amount divided by Labor Hours. The estimate
of the company-wide HSC derived in the Comcast sampling study($33.21) is a combined ratio
estimator based on a stratified random sample. Formulas and other technical details regarding the
calculation of this estimate and the associated margin of error are given in a separate section
below entitled"Formulas and Calculations for the Combined Ratio Estimate of Hourly Service
Charge and Associated Margin of Error."
Margin of Error and Confidence for Estimated Rates
The table below summarizes the 95%confidence level margins of error for the installation and
equipment maximum permitted rates for 2009, based on the estimates from the 2008 Comcast
data and sampling study. Two methods were used to estimate the margin of error for these rates,
one based on the hourly service charges for each of the systems in the sample, the second based
on the company-wide hourly service charge.The values listed below represent the conservative
of the two resulting values from each of these methods.

FORMULAS AND CALCULATIONS FOR THE COMBINED RATIO ESTIMATE OF
HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE AND ASSOCIATED MARGIN OF ERROR
Hourly Service Charge(HSC)is the ratio of End Amount divided by Labor Hours. The estimate
of the company-wide HSC derived in the Comcast sampling study is a combined ratio estimator
based on a stratified random sample and can be defined as follows.
Let Y End Amount
X= Labor Hours
ftp, =population mean End Amount
pu, =population mean Labor hours
Ni =size of stratum i(#of areas in stratum i)
ni =sample size for stratum i
N =Z Ni =population size(here N= 116)
n =Y n; =overall sample size(here n =20)
y; =sample mean End Amount for stratum i
x; =sample mean Labor Hours for stratum i
Y = N;yi =estimated population total End Amount
X =I N;x; =estimated population total Labor Hours
N,Y,
y= =estimated population mean End Amount

Then the combined ratio estimator of R and its estimated variance are given, respectively,by:
rc = y

( z
where Sri _ n—; —1 I =sample variance of the (y—rcx) terms within stratum i.

To see the contribution from each stratum to the overall variance of the estimator rc,write the
within-stratum variance component for stratum i as:

The estimated variance of the combined ratio estimator can then be written as:

c (116, (116) 116
The estimated standard deviation of the combined ratio estimator is 0.62 =0.79 providing a
95% confidence level margin of error of 1.96(0.79)= 1.55. In summary, the combined ratio
estimate for the HSC is $33.21,with a 95%confidence level margin of error of±$1.55, yielding
a 95%confidence interval of($31.66, $34.76).

CITY OF ENTON
DATE: September 8, 2008 SEP 2 4 2008
TO: Mayor Denis Law RECEIVED
Members, Renton City Council CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
FROM: Bonnie Walton, City Clerk/Cable Manager, x6502
SUBJECT: Comcast Cable Rates
Under Renton's franchise with Comcast Cable, the City has certain authority over increases in
"basic cable service"rates, currently called"limited cable service"rates by Comcast. Limited
cable service rates have remained at $12.48 per month since 2003.
Recently Comcast has notified the City that beginning October 1, 2008, rates on certain cable
services for Renton citizens will increase. The rate for limited cable service will increase by 10-
cents per month---from $12.48 to $12.58 per month.
Also, as a matter of information, the rate for service formerly known as expanded basic cable,
now called "basic cable service"by Comcast, over which the City does not have authority, will
increase from $52.25 to $55.75 per month beginning October 1, 2008.
The attached notice from Comcast regarding the rate adjustments is attached for your
information. If you have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me.

FCC FORM 1240
PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
2011 ANNUAL FILING
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the approach and assumptions used in preparing the
2011 annual filing of FCC Form 1240 for systems owned and/or managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC. Where an FCC Order or Public Notice applies, it is referenced by number.
Questions about the mathematical calculations and formulas used in the Form 1240 and the Worksheets
can be referenced in the"Instructions for FCC Form 1240."
MODULE A-MAXIMUM PERMITTED RATE FROM PREVIOUS FILING
Line Al The current maximum permitted rate equals the maximum permitted rate from the
prior Form 1240, Line I9.
MODULE B: SUBSCRIBERSIET
Line Bl/B2 The average subscribership for True-Up Period 1 is calculated by taking the average of
the actual subscribers for each month of the True-Up Period indicated in Question 6 of
FCC Form 1240. For systems with greater than 12 months of actual subscribers, Line B2
will also be completed using the same approach.
Line 133 The estimated average subscribership for the Projected Period is calculated using
historical subscriber growth for the most recent 12 months ending as of the last month of
the True-Up Period'. The historical growth percentage is then applied to the last month
of actual subscribers to project subscribers through the end of the Projected Period
indicated in Question 5 of FCC Form 1240. The Projected Period subscriber calculation
may be adjusted in areas where seasonal fluctuations in subscribers are prevalent.
MODULE C: INFLATION INFORMATION
Line C3/C4 The inflation factor for the True-Up Period is calculated using the Gross National Product
Price Index. The individual factors used for each month of the True-Up Period reflect the
quarterly factors released by the FCC summarized as follows:
Quarte r Months Covered Inflation
3Q09 Jul-09—Sep-09 0.41%(FCC DA 10-1)
4Q09 Oct-09—Dec-09 0.50%(FCC DA 10-366)
1Q10 Jan-10—Mar-10 1.08% (FCC DA 10-1231)
2Q10 Apr-10—Jun-10 1.91%(FCC DA 10-1914)
3Q10 Jul-10—Sep-10 2.09%(FCC DA 10-2434)
'For recently acquired systems,the subscriber growth percentage is calculated using historical subscriber growth for
the most recent period of actual data available.
2011-1240(4/1/2011)
*W
MODULE C: INFLATION INFORMATION(continued)
The appropriate inflation factor is entered on Worksheet 1 for each month of the True-Up
Period and divided by twelve. The number 1.0 is then added to the result and entered on
Line 113 of Worksheet 1. For systems with a True-Up Period 2 (greater than 12 months
of actual data), Line C4 will also be completed using the same approach.
MODULE G: MPR FOR TRUE-UP PERIOD 2
Module G is used to calculate the Maximum Permitted Rate(MPR) for True-Up Period
2. True-Up Period 2 will be completed when there are more than 12 months of actual
data to be trued-up. Worksheets used to calculate the numbers used in Module G are
attached to the Form 1240 as applicable.
WORKSHEET 7-EXTERNAL COSTS
Line 707 Franchise related costs included on Line 707 are taken from Attachment 5, "Franchise
Related Costs." The attachment provides information on how the franchise-related costs
are calculated for each period, e.g., the type of cost being passed through and the number

Cc: Jay B Covington
Subject: Annual FCC Forms 1240 and 1205
Marty:
I am in receipt of the 4/1/11 annual report forms from Comcast. Should I handle those for
the City this year, as I used to, or are you wanting me to send them to you to handle? Is
Mike Bradley still our cable consultant? (I think his contract has expired.)
Also, as you received, the City was given initial notice regarding the upcoming cable
franchise renewal. If possible, I would like to be more of a part of the hands-on franchise
renewal process this time. I actually had prepared for that process for a few years, but
really did not get to use utilize that preparation during the last franchise negotiation, so
would really like to be involved this next time around.
Thank you.

COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS,LLC RECEIVED
2010 ANNUAL FILING- FCC FORM 1205 CITY CLERK'S.OFFICE
PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the steps and methodologies behind the
preparation of FCC Form 1205 for systems owned and managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC ("Comcast"). Comcast has chosen to aggregate its equipment costs at the
company level as provided by the Federal Communication Commission's Report and Order
released June 7, 1997 (DA 96-57). The cost data included in the 2010 Form 1205 was obtained
from the books and records at the company level of Comcast as of December 31, 2010. The
average hours per installation, costs and hours of installation and maintenance of customer
equipment were estimated based upon a sample of Comcast's cable systems. Please see the
enclosed "Sampling Plan &Analysis for Comcast Cable System Rates" for more details.
SCHEDULE A -- CAPITAL COSTS OF SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Line A Represents the types of equipment necessary for installation and maintenance of cable
facilities such as vehicles and tools.
Line B Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2010.
Line C Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2010.
Line D Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (6.99%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated
tax depreciation. The net tax balances for 2001 through 2004 were adjusted to
account for tax basis bonus depreciation.
Line G4a Represents interest expense for Comcast Corporation taken from the company's 10K
for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Line G4b Represents total net assets of Comcast Corporation taken from the company's l OK for
the year ended December 31, 2010. Total net assets equal total assets less total
current assets and goodwill.
Line J Represents annual depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was taken from the
books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2010.
COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS,LLC
SCHEDULE B --ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES FOR SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Schedule B lists annual operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for installation and
maintenance of all cable facilities for the year ended December 31, 2010. Such expenses were
obtained from the books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2010 and are summarized as
follows:
Schedule B Schedule B Analysis
Salaries & Benefits Salaries, Commissions, Employee Benefits, and
Payroll Taxes
Supplies Operating Supplies
Other 1 Contract Labor, Converter Maintenance and Repair
Other 2 Vehicle Expense Gas and Oil, Vehicle Expense
Maintenance and Rentals/Lease Expense
SCHEDULE C-- CAPITAL COSTS OF LEASED CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT
Line A Represents customer equipment for which there is a separately calculated charge. The
following items of equipment will have a separately calculated charge: converters for
"basic-only" customers, converters for customers receiving a level of service above
the basic tier (except HDTV-capable and DVR-capable converters), HDTV-capable
and DVR-capable converters, CableCARDS, Digital Terminal Adapters (DTA) and
remotes.
Line B Represents total maintenance and service hours for remotes and converters. Hours
were obtained from system personnel based on service call reports and the system
management's experience in performing various maintenance/service activities. If the
system utilized contract labor, those hours were included. Such hours were then
allocated 5% to remotes and 95% to converters. Please refer to Schedule C
Attachment for actual calculation.
Line D Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2010. Items such as non-addressable converters, addressable converters, remotes,
digital converters, digital video recorders, HDTV-capable converters, Digital
Terminal Adapters and CableCARDs are included on this line.
Line E Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2010.
Line F Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (6.99%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated
tax depreciation. The net tax balances for 2001 through 2004 were adjusted to
2
COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS,LLC
account for tax basis bonus depreciation.
Line J Current provision for depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast
at December 31, 2010.
SCHEDULE D --AVERAGE HOURS PER INSTALLATION
Schedule D includes the average hours for installations. The average times were based on the
sample systems' experience in actually performing such activities in 2010 and represent a
weighted average time that includes both in-house and contractor installation times.
WORKSHEET FOR CALCULATING PERMITTED EQUIPMENT
AND,INSTALLATION CHARGES
STEP A -- HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE
Line 4 Represents the estimated percentage of the costs reported on Schedules A and B that
relate directly to regulated installations and maintenance of customer equipment.
Line 5 Represents the estimated amount of costs related to installation and maintenance of
regulated customer equipment.
Line 6 Represents an estimate of the total number of person hours that were spent on
maintenance of regulated customer equipment and service installations in 2010,
including contract labor.
STEP F-- CHARGES FOR CHANGING SERVICE TIERS OR EQUIPMENT

SAMPLING PLAN&ANALYSIS FOR COMCAST CABLE SYSTEM RATES
—Year 2010 Data—
Introduction
The primary purpose of this project is to provide estimates of the company-wide total and/or
average for the following variables in the population of cable management entities owned and/or
managed at or near year-end 2010 by Comcast Cable Communications (hereinafter Comcast):
Primary Variables
1. Customer Equipment Maintenance and Installation Costs (End Amount)
2. Labor Hours for Maintenance and Installation of Customer Equipment and Services (Total
Hours)
Secondary Variable
3. Converter Maintenance Hours (Converter Hours)
Installation Time Variables (Other Secondary)
4. Unwired Home
5. Pre-Wired Home
6. Activate Pre-Existing Outlet Same
7. Activate Pre-Existing Outlet Separate
8. AO Same
9. AO Separate
10. Move Outlet Same
11. Move Outlet Separate
12. Upgrade
13. Downgrade
14. VCR Same
15. VCR Separate
16. Trouble Calls
The estimates derived through the sampling plan described herein are used for regulatory
requirements, specifically FCC Form 1205. Values for the two primary variables are used to
obtain an estimate of the Hourly Service Charge (HSC).
For Installation Time variables 4 through 13, estimates of the population total hours spent on
installation and the population number of installations (activity levels) are used to acquire an
estimate of the mean time per installation.' This latter estimate incorporates both the average
time per install for each sampled entity and the installation activity level for each entity. For the
Installation time data for these variables was obtained for In-House and Contractor installs,with final
estimates based on a weighted average of the two types.For the Unwired variable,the estimate is a weighted
average of Unwired-Aerial and Unwired-Underground installations(with each of these latter variables incorporating
both In-House and Contractor installs).

VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble Call Timet variables, installation activity levels were
not available and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per
install for each sampled entity.
In addition to the above-mentioned estimates, maximum permitted rates and associated margins
of error at 95 percent confidence are derived for each of the installation type variables.
A further description of the sampling design and a summary of the statistical analyses conducted
are given below. Relevant formulas are provided in a separate section entitled "Formulas for
Estimates and Standard Errors."Final estimates of the population mean and total for each
variable, the standard errors for these estimates, and the corresponding coefficients of variation
are given in the Appendix.
Sampling Plan
The population consists of 70 management entities managed by Comcast at year-end 2010.
These entities vary widely in size, as evidenced by the variation in the number of subscribers, a
measure of the entity size (Appendix, page A1). In addition, the principal study variables are
closely related to the size of the entities. It is well known that stratified sampling can give large
gains in precision when these conditions are satisfied, with stratification resulting in a smaller
variance for the estimated mean or total than would result from a comparable simple random
sample (see, e.g., Cochran, 1977, p.101).
Available Prior Data
Several sets of reference data from previous years were available to assist in determining the
strata, the sample size, the allocation of the sample to the strata, and the entities to be included in
the sample. These data included:
• The number of subscribers (basic) for each of 422 systems as of October 1996.
• Year-end values for thetwo primary study variables, End Amount (customer equipment
cost) and Total (labor) Hours, for each of 236 regulated systems from the 1995
population.
• Sample data from previous years (1996—2009).
The 1995 data yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.92 and .92 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The Pearson correlation coefficients
were .93 between number of subscribers and Total Hours and .94 between number of subscribers
and End Amount. These high correlations suggest the use of number of subscribers as an
appropriate stratification variable for estimating the company-wide End Amount and Total
Hours. Additionally, sample data collected each year from 1996 to present also support this
approach, with the analogous correlations similarly large. Finally, the twenty areas included the
2010 sample yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.947 and .938 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The analogous Pearson correlations
2 The Trouble Call Time is based on the average of inside wire service calls,customer-owned equipment calls
and customer education calls,assuming equal activity levels for each.

were .882 and .827. There is no reason to believe that these correlations would be much different
for the entire population.
Sample Allocation
Strata and sample allocation were determined to minimize the variance of the estimated totals.
Optimal allocation was chosen over proportional allocation due to the previously mentioned
wide variation in area sizes. When the population consists of large and small institutions
stratified by some measure of size, variances are typically much greater for the larger
institutions,making proportional allocation inefficient. In this case, optimal allocation will result
in a smaller variance for the estimated total than proportional allocation. Generally optimal
allocation will require a larger sample size in a given.stratum if the stratum is larger, the stratum
is more variable internally, or sampling is cheaper in the stratum.
An optimal allocation(assuming equal sampling cost per unit for all strata) was determined using
customer equipment cost and labor hour variance estimates from prior data. The sampled areas
were selected randomly within each stratum from the August 2010 population frame of all
areas.3 The sample sizes and final stratum sizes are as follows:
Stratum Number of Subscribers Stratum Size Sample Size
1 Less than 150,000 23 4
2 150,000 to < 300,000 15 3
3 300,000 to < 400,000 11 2
4 400,000 to <600,000 11 2
5 600,000 and more 10 9
TOTAL 70 20
The author selected a stratified random sample of twenty areas, data was collected and recorded
by Comcast, and the author performed the statistical analysis.
Summary of Results
The twenty systems sampled in 2010 covered approximately 9.9 million of the 22.8 million
subscribers (43.4%). The complete analysis included calculation of the desired estimates and
their standard errors for each of the sixteen study variables, including three analyses— average
time per install, activity levels (number of installs), and total hours of install activity— for each
of the ten Installation Time variables 4 through 13 (see page 2). As mentioned previously, both
In-House and Contractor installs were taken into consideration for these Installation Time
variables and the final Unwired Time variable is a weighted average of Unwired-Aerial and
3 Although there were minor changes in the population between the date the sample was selected and the last
day of 2010,there is no reason to believe the final set of population entities is not representative with respect to the
study variables of the set of entities at the time of sample selection.The sample of twenty can be considered a
random(stratified)sample from the relevant population.
Comcast Cable Communications Report—2010 Data 4
Unwired-Underground. Also mentioned previously, installation activity levels were not available
for the three remaining installation related variables, VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble
Call Time, and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per
install for each sampled area. For the Trouble Call Time variable, inside wire service calls,
customer-owned equipment calls, and customer education calls were averaged, assuming equal
activity levels, to obtain an estimate and standard error for the combined average Trouble Call
Time(per call).
Primary Estimates and Precision
The sample data, estimates, associated standard errors, and coefficients of variation are contained
in the Appendix. The coefficient of variation (CV) reflects the relative precision of the estimate.
For the two primary study variables, the CV values are 2.3% and 3.1%(Appendix,page A6).
These values are quite satisfactory. The U.S. Bureau of the Census typically seeks a CV of 15%,
while the Consumer Products Safety Commission requires a CV of 33% or less in its estimates of
the number of accidents (Gastwirth, 1988, p. 494).
The final estimates for the two primary variables and the HSC are:
END AMOUNT: Estimated Total = $908,545,054
TOTAL HOURS: Estimated Total =26,911,566
HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE: $33.76
Given Total Costs of$5,786,642,212, the estimated End Amount equates to a Customer
Equipment and Installation Percentage of 15.7%.
Combined Ratio Estimate and Margin of Error for Hourly Service Charge
Hourly Service Charge(HSC) is the ratio of End Amount divided by Labor Hours. The estimate
of the company-wide HSC derived in the Comcast sampling study($33.76) is a combined ratio
estimator based on a stratified random sample. Formulas and other technical details regarding the
calculation of this estimate and the associated margin of error are given in a separate section
below entitled"Formulas and Calculations for the Combined Ratio Estimate of Hourly Service
Charge and Associated Margin of Error."
Margin of Error and Confidence for Estimated Rates
The table below summarizes the 95% confidence level margins of error for the installation and
equipment maximum permitted rates for 2011, based on the estimates from the 2010 Comcast
data and sampling study. Two methods were used to estimate the margin of error for these rates,
one based on the hourly service charges for each of the systems in the sample, the second based
on the company-wide hourly service charge. The values listed below represent the conservative
of the two resulting values from each of these methods.

FORMULAS AND CALCULATIONS FOR THE COMBINED RATIO ESTIMATE OF
HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE AND ASSOCIATED MARGIN OF ERROR
Hourly Service Charge(HSC) is the ratio of End Amount divided by Labor Hours. The estimate
of the company-wide HSC derived in the Comcast sampling study is a combined ratio estimator
based on a stratified random sample and can be defined as follows.
Let Y = End Amount

p,=population mean End Amount
px=population mean Labor hours
Ni= size of stratum i(#of areas in stratum i)
n;= sample size for stratum i
N= Y Ni=population size(here N= 70)
n = Y n; =overall sample size(here n =20)

Dear Ms. Walton:
Attached are FCC Form 1240, Annual Update Form, and Form 1205, Determining Costs
of Regulated Cable Equipment and Installation.
As you know, this advance notification is required by the FCC rules. The process
utilized in preparing the FCC Forms 1240 and 1205 has not changed from the prior year.
The calculations shown in this notification reflect the maximum permitted rates under
FCC rules. The Operator Selected Rate (OSR)for the Basic Service Tier is noted on
Line 110 of the FCC Form 1240. The actual installation and equipment rates which will
be implemented are noted on the"2012 Installation and Equipment Rates" schedule. The
Basic Service Tier, installation and equipment rate changes noted will be implemented on
July 1, 2012. Although these are our planned rate changes, we also want to preserve our
rights for the coming year under the current rules.
If you have any questions regarding the attached documents or if further information is
required, please call me at 610-650-3057.

2012 Annual Filing
This memo will serve to document in general terms,the approach and assumptions used in preparing the
2012 annual filing of FCC Form 1240 for systems owned or managed by Comcast Cable Communications,
LLC(Comcast). Questions concerning the mathematical calculations and formulas used in Form 1240 and
the Worksheets should be referenced to the"Instructions for FCC Form 1240."
Projected Period
Question 5 The Projected Period covers July 1,2012 to June 30,2013.
True-up Period
Question 6 The True-up Period covers December 1,2010 through November 31,2011. In
accordance with FCC Order DA 96-1804,Request for Waiver FCC Form 1240,released
November 1, 1996(Waiver Period),the period of time between the initial filing date and
beginning of the projected period must not be included in the operators true-up.
Module A - Maximum Permitted Rate From Previous Filing
Line Al The Current Maximum Permitted Rate equals the maximum permitted rate from the prior
Form 1240,Line I9.
Module B—Subscribership
Line B 1 The Average Subscribership for True-up Period 1 represents average franchise
subscribers during the period indicated in Question 6 of FCC Form 1240.
Line 133 The estimated Average Subscribership for Projected Period is calculated by applying the
estimated 2012 subscriber growth percentage to average subscribers for the true-up
period.
Module C—Inflation Information
Line C3 The inflation factor for the True-up Period is calculated using the quarterly figures
released by the FCC in Public Notice report No.DA 12-22, dated January 6,2012. The
appropriate inflation factor is entered on Worksheet 1 for each month of the True-Up
Period and is divided by 12 months. The number 1.0 is added to the results and entered
on Line 113 of Worksheet 1 and Line C3.
Line C5 The Current FCC Inflation Factor is based on the third quarter 2011 inflation figure
released by the FCC in Public Notice Report No.DA 12-22,dated January 6,2012.
Module D—Calculating the Base Rate
Line D2 to D7 The Current External Costs,Caps Method,Markup Method,True-Up Segments and
Inflation Segment were obtained directly from Module I of the Prior FCC Form 1240
filing.
Module F—Maximum Permitted Rate for True-Up Period 1
Line F8 The true-up segment for True-Up Period 1 is calculated in accordance with the
instructions to FCC Form 1240. This amount is calculated from Module H Total True-
Up Adjustment(Line H13 of the prior filing)divided by the average true-up subscribers
on Line B 1 of the current filing and divided by the number of months in the true-up
period on Line E2 of the current filing.

MEDIA BUREAU ACTION January 6,2012
THIRD QUARTER 2011 INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FIGURES FOR CABLE OPERATORS
USING FCC FORM 1240 NOW AVAILABLE
As described in the instructions for FCC Form 1240, cable operators may adjust the non-external cost
portion of their rates for inflation based on quarterly figures released by the Federal Communications
Commission. The Third Quarter 2011 inflation factor for operators using FCC Form 1240 is 2.57%.
The adjustment factor of 2.57%is a measure of the annualized change in prices occurring over the period
from July 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011. All adjustments are based on changes in the Gross National
Product Price Index (GNP-PI) published by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Economic Analysis(BEA). The Media Bureau obtained the chain-type price indices from the BEA news
release dated December 22,2011 (BEA 11-63)at Table 6(Addenda: Gross National Product).
The inflation adjustment factor is calculated by dividing the GNP-PI for the Third Quarter of 2011
(113.799) by the GNP-PI for the Second Quarter of 2011 (113.080). The result of this calculation is
converted from a quarterly change measurement factor to an annual change measurement factor by
raising it to the fourth power.
Operators calculating the Inflation Factor for a True-Up Period which includes some portion of the Third
Quarter of 2011 should enter the inflation factor on the appropriate lines of Worksheet 1 of FCC Form
1240 as "0.0257". Operators using this factor for calculating the Projected Period Inflation Segment of
FCC Form 1240 should enter this number on Line C3 (January 1996 version), or Line C5 (July 1996
version)as"1.0257."
To date,the Commission has released sixty-five quarterly inflation factors for use with FCC Form 1240.
The following table lists these factors beginning in 2005:1

2011 ANNUAL FILING.-FCC FORM 1205
PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the steps and methodologies behind the
preparation of FCC Form 1205 for systems owned and managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC ("Comcast"). Comcast has chosen to aggregate its equipment costs at the
company level as provided by the Federal Communication Commission's Report and Order
released June 7, 1997 (DA 96-57). The cost data included in the 2010 Form 1205 was obtained
from the books and records at the company level of Comcast as of December 31, 2011. The
average hours per installation, costs and hours of installation and maintenance of customer
equipment were estimated based upon a sample of Comcast's cable systems. Please see the
enclosed "Sampling Plan &Analysis for Comcast Cable System Rates" for more details.
SCHEDULE A— CAPITAL COSTS OF SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Line A Represents the types of equipment necessary for installation and maintenance of cable
facilities such as vehicles and tools.
Line B Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2011.
Line C Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2011.
Line D Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate(35°/b) grid"
the applicable state income tax rate (net of.the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (7.17%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated
tax depreciation.
Line G4a Represents interest expense for Comcast Corporation taken from the company's 10K
for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Line G4b Represents total net assets of Comcast Corporation taken from the company's l OK for
the year ended December 31, 2011. Total net assets equal total assets less total
current assets and goodwill.
Line J Represents annual depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was taken from the
books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2011.

following items of equipment will have a separately calculated charge: converters for
"basic-only" customers; converters for customers receiving a level of service above
the basic tier including Digital, HDTV-capable and DVR-capable converters;
CableCARDs; Digital Terminal Adapters (DTA); and remotes.
Line B Represents total maintenance and service hours for remotes and converters. Hours
were obtained from system personnel based on service call reports and the system
management's experience in performing various maintenance/service activities. If the
system utilized contract labor, those hours were included. Such hours were then
allocated 5% to remotes and 95% to converters. Please refer to Schedule C
Attachment for actual calculation.
Line D Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2011. Items such as remotes, digital converters, digital video recorders, HDTV-
capable converters, Digital Terminal Adapters and CableCARDs are included on this
line.
Line E Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at

Line F Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the
net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income talc rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (7.17°/x) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated
tax depreciation.
Line J Current provision for.depreciation was taken from the books and records-of Comcast
at December 31,2011.

SAMPLING PLAN&ANALYSIS FOR COMCAST CABLE SYSTEM RATES
—Year 2011 Data—
Introduction
The primary purpose of this project is to provide estimates of the company-wide total and/or
average for the following variables in the population of cable management entities owned and/or
managed at or near year-end 2011 by Comcast Cable Communications (hereinafter Comcast):
Primary Variables
I. Customer Equipment Maintenance and Installation Costs (End Amount)
2. Labor Hours for Maintenance and Installation of Customer Equipment and Services (Total
Hours)
Secondary Variable
3. Converter Maintenance Hours (Converter Hours)
Installation Time Variables (Other Secondary)
4. Unwired Home
5. Pre-Wired Home
6. Activate Pre-Existing Outlet Same
7. Activate Pre-Existing Outlet Separate
8. AO Same
9. AO Separate
10. Move Outlet Same
11. Move Outlet Separate
12. Upgrade
13. Downgrade
14. VCR Same
15. VCR Separate
16. Trouble Calls
The estimates derived through the sampling plan described herein are used for regulatory
requirements,specifically FCC Form 1205. Values for the two pri
obtain an estimate of the Hourly Service Charge(HSC). mary variables are used to
For Installation Time variables 4 through 13, estimates of the population total hours spent on
installation and the population number of installations(activity levels) are used to acquire an
estimate of the mean time per installation.' This latter estimate incorporates both the average
time per install for each sampled entity and the installation activity level for each entity. For the
Installation time data for these variables was obtained for In-House and Contractor installs with
estimates based on a weighted average of the two typeina
s.For the Unwired variable,the estimate is�a weighted
average of Unwired-Aerial and Unwired-Underground installations(with each of these latter variables incorporating
both In-House and Contractor installs).

VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble Call Timet variables, installation activity levels were
not available and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per
install for each sampled entity.
In addition to the above-mentioned estimates, maximum permitted rates and associated margins
of error at 95 percent confidence are derived for each of the installation type variables.
A further description of the sampling design and a summary of the statistical analyses conducted
are given below. Relevant formulas are provided in a separate section entitled"Formulas for
Estimates and Standard Errors."Final estimates of the population mean and total for each
variable, the standard errors for these estimates, and the corresponding coefficients of variation
are given in the Appendix.
Sampling Plan
The population consists of 61 management entities managed by Comcast at year 2011.
These entities vary widely in size, as evidenced by the variation in the number of subscribers, a
measure of the entity size(Appendix,page A 1). In addition, the principal study variables are
closely related to the size of the entities. It is well known that stratified sampling can give large
gains in precision when these conditions are satisfied, with stratification resulting in a smaller
variance for the estimated mean or total than would result from a comparable simple random
sample(see, e.g., Cochran, 1977,p.101).
Available Prior Data
Several sets of reference data from previous years were available to assist in determining the
strata, the sample size, the allocation of the sample to the strata, and the entities to be included in
the sample. These data included:
• The number of subscribers
(basic) for each of 422 systems as of October 1996.
Year-end values for the two rim y
cost) and Total (labor)Hours for ea of 236 regulated nsystems from the ount i1995er�uipment
population.
Sample data from previous years (1996—2010).
The 1995 data yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.92 and .92 between number of
subscribers and each of the two rim study variables. The Pearson correlation
were.93 between number of subscriber and Total Hours and 94 between numberO f subscribers i
and End Amount. These hi of subscribers
high correlations suggest the use of number of subscribers as an
appropriate stratification variable for estimating the company-wide End Amount and Total
Hours. Additionally, sample data collected each year from 1996 to present also support this
approach, with the analogous correlations similarly large. Finally, the twenty areas included the
2011 sample yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.971 and .955 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The analogous Pearson correlations

and customer education calls,assuming equal activity levels for each.

were.887 and .834. There is no reason to believe that these correlations would be muc
for the entire population. h different
Sample Allocation
Strata and sample allocation were determined to minimize the variance of the estimated totals.
Optimal allocation was chosen over proportional allocation due to the previously mentioned
wide variation in area sizes. When the population consists of large and small institutions
stratified by some measure of size, variances are typically much greater for the larger
institutions,making proportional allocation inefficient. In this case, optimal allocation will result
in a smaller variance for the estimated total than proportional allocation. Generally optimal
allocation will require a larger sample size in a given stratum if the stratum is larger, the stratum
is more variable internally, or sampling is cheaper in the stratum.
An optimal allocation(assuming equal sampling cost per unit for all strata) was determined using
customer equipment cost and labor hour variance estimates from prior data. The sampled areas
were selected randomly within each stratum from the August 2011 population frame of all
areas.3 The sample sizes and final stratum sizes are as follows:

The author selected a stratified random sample of twenty areas, data was collected and recorded
by Comcast, and the author performed the statistical analysis.
Summary of Results
The twenty systems sampled in 2011 covered approximately 10.0 million of the 22.3 million
subscribers (44.6%). The complete analysis included calculation of the desired estimates and
their standard errors for each of the sixteen study variables, including three analyses—average
time per install,activity levels(number of installs), and total hours of install activity— for each
of the ten Installation Time variables 4 through 13 (see page 2). As mentioned previously, both
In-House and Contractor installs were taken into consideration for these Installation Time
a Although there were minor changes in the population between the date the sample was selected and the
day of 2011,there is no reason to believe the final set of population entities is not representative with respect to the
study variables of the set of entities at the time of sample selection.The sample of twenty can be considered a
random(stratified)sample from the relevant population.

variables and the final Unwired Time variable is a weighted average Of Unwired-Aerial Unwired-Underground. Also mentioned previously, installation activity levels were not available
for the three remaining installation related variables, VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble Coil Time, and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per install for each sampled area. For the Trouble Call Time variable, inside wire service calls r
customer-owned equipment calls, and customer education calls were averaged, assumingequal
activity levels, to obtain an estimate and standard error for the combined average Trouble
a
Tme(per call). Il
Primary Estimates and Precision
The sample data, estimates, associated standard errors, and coefficients of variation are con
in the Appendix. The coefficient of variation(CV) reflects the relative precision of the est'. tamed
For the two primary study variables, the CV values are 4.4% and 4.5%(Appendix page 6).
These values are quite satisfactory. The U.S. Bureau of the Census typically seeks a CV o 1
while the Consumer Products Safety Commission requires a CV of 33% or less in its estimates f lmates os o
the number of accidents(Gastwirth, 1988,p 494). f
The final estimates for the two primary variables and the HSC are:
END AMOUNT: Estimated Total =$739,423,487
TOTAL HOURS: Estimated Total =21,868,895
HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE: $33.81
-Given Total Costs of$5,599,799,458, the estimated End Amount equates to a Custom

Re: 2013 FCC Form 1240 and Form 1205 filings
City of Renton—WA0068
Dear Ms. Walton:
Attached are FCC Form 1240, Annual Update Form, and Form 1205, Determining Costs
of Regulated Cable Equipment and Installation.
As you know, this advance notification is required by the FCC rules. The process
utilized in preparing the FCC Forms 1240 and 1205 has not changed from the prior year.
The calculations shown in this notification reflect the maximum permitted rates under
FCC rules. The Operator Selected Rate (OSR) for the Basic Service Tier is noted on
Line I10 of the FCC Form 1240. The actual installation and equipment rates which will
be implemented are noted on the "2013 Installation and Equipment Rates" schedule. The
Basic Service Tier, installation and equipment rate changes noted will be implemented on
July 1, 2013. Although these are our planned rate changes, we also want to preserve our
rights for the coming year under the current rules.
If you have any questions regarding the attached documents or if further information is
required, please call me at 610-650-3057.
Sincerely,
JJ seph C. Lance

This memo will serve to document in general terms,the approach and assumptions used in preparing the
2013 annual filing of FCC Form 1240 for systems owned or managed by Comcast Cable Communications,
LLC(Comcast). Questions concerning the mathematical calculations and formulas used in Form 1240 and
the Worksheets should be referenced to the"Instructions for FCC Form 1240."
Projected Period
Question 5 The Projected Period covers July 1,2013 to June 30,2014.
True-up Period
Question 6 The True-up Period covers December 1,2011 through November 31,2012. In
accordance with FCC Order DA 96-1804,Request for Waiver FCC Form 1240,released
November 1, 1996(Waiver Period),the period of time between the initial filing date and
beginning of the projected period must not be included in the operators true-up.
Module A - Maximum Permitted Rate From Previous Filing
Line A 1 The Current Maximum Permitted Rate equals the maximum permitted rate from the prior
Form 1240,Line I9.
Module B—Subscribership
Line B 1 The Average Subscribership for True-up Period 1 represents average franchise
subscribers during the period indicated in Question 6 of FCC Form 1240.
Line 133 The estimated Average Subscribership for Projected Period is calculated by applying the
estimated 2013 subscriber growth percentage to average subscribers for the true-up
period.
Module C—Inflation Information
Line C3 The inflation factor for the True-up Period is calculated using the quarterly figures
released by the FCC in Public Notice report No.DA 13-59,dated January 16,2013. The
appropriate inflation factor is entered on Worksheet 1 for each month of the True-Up
Period and is divided by 12 months. The number 1.0 is added to the results and entered
on Line 113 of Worksheet 1 and Line C3.
Line C5 The Current FCC Inflation Factor is based on the third quarter 2012 inflation figure
released by the FCC in Public Notice Report No. DA 13-59,dated January 16,2013.

Line D2 to D7 The Current External Costs,Caps Method,Markup Method, True-Up Segments and
Inflation Segment were obtained directly from Module I of the Prior FCC Form 1240
filing.
Module F—Maximum Permitted Rate for True-Up Period 1
Line F8 The true-up segment for True-Up Period 1 is calculated in accordance with the
instructions to FCC Form 1240. This amount is calculated from Module H Total True-
Up Adjustment(Line H13 of the prior filing)divided by the average true-up subscribers
on Line B 1 of the current filing and divided by the number of months in the true-up

MEDIA BUREAU ACTION January 16,2013
THIRD QUARTER 2012 INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FIGURES FOR CABLE OPERATORS
USING FCC FORM 1240 NOW AVAILABLE
As described in the instructions for FCC Form 1240, cable operators may adjust the non-external cost
portion of their rates for inflation based on quarterly figures released by the Federal Communications
Commission. The Third Quarter 2012 inflation factor for operators using FCC Form 1240 is 2.65%.
The adjustment factor of 2.65% is a measure of the annualized change in prices occurring over the period
from July 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012. All adjustments are based on changes in the Gross National
Product Price Index (GNP-PI) published by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Economic Analysis(BEA). The Media Bureau obtained the chain-type price indices from the BEA news
release dated December 20,2012(BEA 12-59)at Table 6(Addenda: Gross National Product).
The inflation adjustment factor is calculated by dividing the GNP-PI for the Third Quarter of 2012
(115.804) by the GNP-PI for the Second Quarter of 2012 (115.050). The result of this calculation is
converted from a quarterly change measurement factor to an annual change measurement factor by
raising it to the fourth power.
Operators calculating the Inflation Factor for a True-Up Period which includes some portion of the Third
Quarter of 2012 should enter the inflation factor on the appropriate lines of Worksheet 1 of FCC Form
1240 as "0.0265". Operators using this factor for calculating the Projected Period Inflation Segment of
FCC Form 1240 should enter this number on Line C3 (January 1996 version), or Line C5 (July 1996
version)as"1.0265."
To date,the Commission has released sixty-nine quarterly inflation factors for use with FCC Form 1240.

2012 ANNUAL FILING- FCC FORM 1205
PREPARATION DOCUMENTATION
This memo will serve to document, in general terms, the steps and methodologies behind the
preparation of FCC Form 1205 for systems owned and managed by Comcast Cable
Communications, LLC ("Comcast"). Comcast has chosen to aggregate its equipment costs at the
company level as provided by the Federal Communication Commission's Report and Order
released June 7, 1997 (DA 96-57). The cost data included in the 2012 Form 1205 was obtained
from the books and records at the company level of Comcast as of December 31, 2012. The
average hours per installation, costs and hours of installation and maintenance of customer
equipment were estimated based upon a sample of Comcast's cable systems. Please see the
enclosed"Sampling Plan&Analysis for Comcast Cable System Rates" for more details.
SCHEDULE A--CAPITAL COSTS OF SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Line A Represents the types of equipment necessary for installation and maintenance of cable
facilities such as vehicles and tools.
Line B Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2012.
Line C Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2012.
Line D Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate (35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (7.14%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated
tax depreciation.
Line G4a Represents interest expense for Comcast Corporation taken from the company's 10K
for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Line G4b Represents total net assets of Comcast Corporation taken from the company's l OK for
the year ended December 31, 2012. Total net assets equal total assets less total
current assets and goodwill.
Line J Represents annual depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was taken from the
books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2012.

SCHEDULE B--ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES FOR SERVICE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT AND PLANT
Schedule B lists annual operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for installation and
maintenance of all cable facilities for the year ended December 31, 2012. Such expenses were
obtained from the books and records of Comcast at December 31, 2012 and are summarized as
follows:
Schedule B Schedule B Analysis
Salaries &Benefits Salaries, Commissions, Employee Benefits, and
Payroll Taxes
Supplies Operating Supplies
Other 1 Contract Labor, Converter Maintenance and Repair
Other 2 Vehicle Expense Gas and Oil, Vehicle Expense
Maintenance and Rentals/Lease Expense
SCHEDULE C-- CAPITAL COSTS OF LEASED CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT
Line A Represents customer equipment for which there is a separately calculated charge. The
following items of equipment will have a separately calculated charge: converters for
"basic-only" customers; converters for customers receiving a level of service above
the basic tier including Digital, HDTV-capable and DVR-capable converters;
CableCARDs; Digital Terminal Adapters (DTA); and remotes.
Line B Represents total maintenance and service hours for remotes and converters. Hours
were obtained from system personnel based on service call reports and the system
management's experience in performing various maintenance/service activities. If the
system utilized contract labor, those hours were included. Such hours were then
allocated 5% to remotes and 95% to converters. Please refer to Schedule C
Attachment for actual calculation.
Line D Gross book value was taken from the books and records of Comcast at December 31,
2012. Items such as remotes, digital converters, digital video recorders, HDTV-
capable converters, Digital Terminal Adapters and CableCARDs are included on this
line.
Line E Accumulated depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast at
December 31, 2012.
Line F Deferred tax balances were calculated by multiplying the difference between the net
book value and the net tax value by the sum of the Federal income tax rate(35%) and
the applicable state income tax rate (net of the Federal income tax benefit). Assets
identified at the company level use a weighted average state tax rate (7.14%) for this
calculation. Net tax value was calculated using gross tax value minus accumulated
tax depreciation.
Line J Current provision for depreciation was taken from the books and records of Comcast
at December 31, 2012.

SAMPLING PLAN&ANALYSIS FOR COMCAST CABLE SYSTEM RATES
—Year 2012 Data—
Introduction
The primary purpose of this project is to provide estimates of the company-wide total and/or
average for the following variables in the population of cable management entities owned and/or
managed at or near year-end 2012 by Comcast Cable Communications (hereinafter Comcast):
Primary Variables
I. Customer Equipment Maintenance and Installation Costs (End Amount)
2. Labor Hours for Maintenance and Installation of Customer Equipment and Services (Total
Hours)
Secondary Variable
3. Converter Maintenance Hours (Converter Hours)
Installation Time Variables (Other Secondary)
4. Unwired Home
5. Pre-Wired Home
6. Activate Pre-Existing Outlet Same
7. Activate Pre-Existing Outlet Separate
8. AO Same
9. AO Separate
10. Move Outlet Same
11. Move Outlet Separate
12. Upgrade
13. Downgrade
14. VCR Same
15. VCR Separate
16. Trouble Calls
The estimates derived through the sampling plan described herein are used for regulatory
requirements, specifically FCC Form 1205. Values for the two primary variables are used to
obtain an estimate of the Hourly Service Charge(HSC).
For Installation Time variables 4 through 13, estimates of the population total hours spent on
installation and the population number of installations(activity levels) are used to acquire an
estimate of the mean time per installation.' This latter estimate incorporates both the average
time per install for each sampled entity and the installation activity level for each entity. For the
1 Installation time data for these variables was obtained for In-House and Contractor installs,with final
estimates based on a weighted average of the two types.For the Unwired variable,the estimate is a weighted
average of Unwired-Aerial and Unwired-Underground installations(with each of these latter variables incorporating
both In-House and Contractor installs).
Comcast Cable Communications Report—2012 Data 2
"*A.01
VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble Call Timet variables, installation activity levels were
not available and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per
install for each sampled entity.
In addition to the above-mentioned estimates, maximum permitted rates and associated margins
of error at 95 percent confidence are derived for each of the installation type variables.
A further description of the sampling design and a summary of the statistical analyses conducted
are given below. Relevant formulas are provided in a separate section entitled"Formulas for
Estimates and Standard Errors."Final estimates of the population mean and total for each
variable, the standard errors for these estimates, and the corresponding coefficients of variation
are given in the Appendix.
Sampling Plan
The population consists of 44 management entities managed by Comcast at year-end 2012.
These entities vary widely in size, as evidenced by the variation in the number of subscribers, a
measure of the entity size(Appendix,page A 1). In addition, the principal study variables are
closely related to the size of the entities. It is well known that stratified sampling can give large
gains in precision when these conditions are satisfied, with stratification resulting in a smaller
variance for the estimated mean or total than would result from a comparable simple random
sample(see, e.g., Cochran, 1977,p.101).
Available Prior Data
Several sets of reference data from previous years were available to assist in determining the
strata, the sample size, the allocation of the sample to the strata, and the entities to be included in
the sample. These data included:
• The number of subscribers(basic) for each of 422 systems as of October 1996.
• Year-end values for the two primary study variables, End Amount(customer equipment
cost)and Total (labor)Hours, for each of 236 regulated systems from the 1995
population.
• Sample data from previous years(1996—2011).
The 1995 data yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.92 and .92 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The Pearson correlation coefficients
were.93 between number of subscribers and Total Hours and .94 between number of subscribers
and End Amount. These high correlations suggest the use of number of subscribers as an
appropriate stratification variable for estimating the company-wide End Amount and Total
Hours. Additionally, sample data collected each year from 1996 to present also support this
approach, with the analogous correlations similarly large. Finally, the twenty areas included the
2012 sample yielded Spearman correlation coefficients of.952 and .953 between number of
subscribers and each of the two primary study variables. The analogous Pearson correlations

were.986 and .966. There is no reason to believe that these correlations would be much different
for the entire population.
Sample Allocation
Strata and sample allocation were determined to minimize the variance of the estimated totals.
Optimal allocation was chosen over proportional allocation due to the previously mentioned
wide variation in area sizes. When the population consists of large and small institutions
stratified by some measure of size, variances are typically much greater for the larger
institutions,making proportional allocation inefficient. In this case, optimal allocation will result
in a smaller variance for the estimated total than proportional allocation. Generally optimal
allocation will require a larger sample size in a given stratum if the stratum is larger, the stratum
is more variable internally, or sampling is cheaper in the stratum.
An optimal allocation(assuming equal sampling cost per unit for all strata) was determined using
customer equipment cost and labor hour variance estimates from prior data. The sampled areas
were selected randomly within each stratum from the August 2012 population frame of all
areas.3 The sample sizes and final stratum sizes are as follows:
Stratum Number of Subscribers Stratum Size Sample Size
1 Less than 200,000 8 3
2 200,000 to <400,000 7 3
3 400,000 to <600,000 14 6
4 600,000 to <800,000 13 6
5 8,000,000 or more 2 2
TOTAL 44 20
The author selected a stratified random sample of twenty areas, data was collected and recorded
by Comcast, and the author performed the statistical analysis.
Summary of Results
The twenty systems sampled in 2012 covered approximately 11.6 million of the 22.0 million
subscribers(52.7%). The complete analysis included calculation of the desired estimates and
their standard errors for each of the sixteen study variables, including three analyses—average
time per install, activity levels (number of installs), and total hours of install activity—for each
of the ten Installation Time variables 4 through 13 (see page 2). As mentioned previously,both
In-House and Contractor installs were taken into consideration for these Installation Time
variables and the final Unwired Time variable is a weighted average of Unwired-Aerial and
3 Although there were minor changes in the population between the date the sample was selected and the last
day of 2012,there is no reason to believe the final set of population entities is not representative with respect to the
study variables of the set of entities at the time of sample selection.The sample of twenty can be considered a
random(stratified)sample from the relevant population.

Unwired-Underground. Also mentioned previously, installation activity levels were not available
for the three remaining installation related variables, VCR Same, VCR Separate, and Trouble
Call Time, and estimates for these variables are provided based only on the average time per
install for each sampled area. For the Trouble Call Time variable, inside wire service calls,
customer-owned equipment calls, and customer education calls were averaged, assuming equal
activity levels, to obtain an estimate and standard error for the combined average Trouble Call
Time(per call).
Primary Estimates and Precision
The sample data, estimates, associated standard errors, and coefficients of variation are contained
in the Appendix. The coefficient of variation (CV)reflects the relative precision of the estimate.
For the two primary study variables, the CV values are 2.4% and 2.8% (Appendix, page A6).
These values are quite satisfactory. The U.S. Bureau of the Census typically seeks a CV of 15%,
while the Consumer Products Safety Commission requires a CV of 33%or less in its estimates of
the number of accidents (Gastwirth, 1988, p. 494).
The final estimates for the two primary variables and the HSC are:
END AMOUNT: Estimated Total =$625,371,166
TOTAL HOURS: Estimated Total = 18,822,281
HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE: $33.23
Given Total Costs of$5,761,859,598, the estimated End Amount equates to a Customer
Equipment and Installation Percentage of 10.9%.
Combined Ratio Estimate and Margin of Errorfor Hourly Service Charge
Hourly Service Charge(HSC)is the ratio of End Amount divided by Labor Hours. The estimate
of the company-wide HSC derived in the Comcast sampling study($33.23) is a combined ratio
estimator based on a stratified random sample. Formulas and other technical details regarding the
calculation of this estimate and the associated margin of error are given in a separate section
below entitled"Formulas and Calculations for the Combined Ratio Estimate of Hourly Service
Charge and Associated Margin of Error."
Margin of Error and Confidence for Estimated Rates
The table below summarizes the 95%confidence level margins of error for the installation and
equipment maximum permitted rates for 2013, based on the estimates from the 2012 Comcast
data and sampling study. Two methods were used to estimate the margin of error for these rates,
one based on the hourly service charges for each of the systems in the sample, the second based
on the company-wide hourly service charge. The values listed below represent the conservative
of the two resulting values from each of these methods.

FORMULAS AND CALCULATIONS FOR THE COMBINED RATIO ESTIMATE OF
HOURLY SERVICE CHARGE AND ASSOCIATED MARGIN OF ERROR
Hourly Service Charge(HSC) is the ratio of End Amount divided by Labor Hours. The estimate
of the company-wide HSC derived in the Comcast sampling study is a combined ratio estimator
based on a stratified random sample and can be defined as follows.
Let Y= End Amount
X=Labor Hours
,u,=population mean End Amount
,uz=population mean Labor Hours
N;=size of stratum i(#of areas in stratum i)
n;=sample size for stratum i
N=I Ni=population size(here N=44)
n = I n; =overall sample size(here n=20)
y;=sample mean End Amount for stratum i
x;=sample mean Labor Hours for stratum i
Y=IN;y; = estimated population total End Amount
X=IN;x;=estimated population total Labor Hours
_ IN;y;
y— N =estimated population mean End Amount
x= N` ` =estimated population mean Labor Hours

estimate for the HSC is $33.23, with a 95%confidence level margin of error of±$1.17, yielding
a 95% confidence interval of($32.05, $34.40).
