18. REPORTS OF OTHER BOARDS, COMMISSIONS & COMMITTEES
a. CABLE TV COMMITTEE - TRUSTEES PETRI/LISSNER—Trustee Lissner stated that
Mayor Johnson has been sending several letters to various government agencies throughout the
past year regarding the failures of AT&T and the way they handle PEG (public) viewing
channels. Several agencies have responded to those letters. One of the letters recently received
from the Board Chair of the Chicago Access Corporation listed a website,
www.keepusconnected.org. Trustee Lissner viewed the website and there was a YouTube video
posted on the site that shows some of the issues transpiring with AT&T. A presentation of the .
YouTube video was shown. The video demonstrated the problems with AT&T public viewing.
Trustee Lissner stated in addition to the problems demonstrated, the picture on AT&T is
distorted and grainy.
Mayor Johnson stated that AT&T is required by State law and Federal law to provide the same
quality of service that is offered by Comcast. Right now the Village has,Channel.6. Channel 6
is a highly marketable commercial number that many stations would like to have. Comcast
provides Channel 6 under the guidelines of State and Federal laws. AT&T has basically been
violating the law. The Village has been in contact with the Attorney General and Congressman
Roskam's office to look into the matter. ,
Recently, other organizations, including the Northwest Municipal Conference, who represents
fifty communities, have stepped up to push and make sure that AT&T provides the same quality
of service that other providers supply and do what they are required to do by law. Right now,
residents are paying money to AT&T for services they are not providing. AT&T gets money out
of the fees that they collect for cable, to provide this service and they are not using the money to
provide the service at the level they are required to provide.
The Attorney General's office is thankful for the information the Village has provided and for
the other organizations that have stepped forward. Hopefully AT&T will now be forced to do
what they are supposed to do by law. Mayor Johnson thanked Trustee Lissner and Trustee
Franke for their efforts in making sure that AT&T users get the service they deserve.
