Service Provider Reports The CAC has received a report from Tom Steele of RCN. Mr. Pogran summarized the RCN report noting RCN will no longer itemize surcharges on their bills for new subscribers. The committee discussed whether this change will affect new subscribers only; how would RCN handle future rate changes; and whether this change is unique to RCN. Since the CAC will likely receive questions on this matter, Mr. Pogran will reach out to Tom Steele to clarify how programming cost changes will be reflected in this new billing format. 4. Chairman's Report The Chairman noted a few CAC members are due to update their conflict of interest on-line training from the Town. Training must be completed every two years from the date of last training.
