The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (“DCCA”) is currently in the renewal process for Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P., doing business as Oceanic Time Warner Cable (“Oceanic”), Oahu cable television franchise. DCCA previously held a community meeting on July 15, 2008 at McKinley High School to obtain the public’s general input and comments. DCCA is now holding two additional community meetings to allow additional time for public comments to determine how you or your organization might be able to benefit from services provided by Oceanic and its cable television system on Oahu, and to provide feedback on the services currently being provided by Oceanic. The public is welcome to attend, especially those who were not able to attend the July 15, 2008 meeting.

This community meeting is part of the ascertainment of community needs and interests for Oceanic’s cable television service. Your participation, as an individual or representative of a community organization, will assist DCCA in determining what it should consider in the renewal process.

At the community meeting, information will be provided on the cable television franchising process. All interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to submit their comments, both orally and in writing, at the time of the community meeting and will be asked to fill out a brief questionnaire to help identify cable-related community needs and interests on Oahu. Following the meeting, written comments may also be submitted to DCCA no later then September 30, 2008 via the following:
