FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHTS OF "PUBLIC ACCESS" and FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

ALOHA,

The Dept of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) is reviewing Oceanic Time Warner franchise renewal for cable services on O`ahu. Under federal law, Oceanic must provide funding for public access.

`Olelo Community TV is under attack. Oceanic Time Warner is greedy and wants to cut back on channels and funding for community access.

Mahalo to all those who attended last night’s Public Hearing on Franchise Renewal at McKinley High School!

The outpouring of support demonstrated at the rally prior to the hearing as well as the heartfelt testimony shared by so many at the hearing was truly inspiring. It is always wonderful to hear about the value of Community Access from those who benefit from its resources. Those resources still need protecting, so please submit your written testimony by this Friday.

Here’s how to submit testimony:

Mailto:cabletv@dcca.hawaii.gov

Fax: (808) 586-2625

U.S. Mail:
Cable Television Division
Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs
P.O. Box 541
Honolulu, Hawaii 96809

Thank you again to all who attended the hearing and rally as well as all of you who have already submitted testimony. For those of you who still wish to submit testimony, the deadline is this Friday, 9/16 at 4:30 pm.

Sincerely,

Keali’i Lopez
