ENDNOTES CHAPTER 7


 1.  Kathleen T. Schuler, "Overview of PEG Access," document
     prepared for the City of Cerritos, at 11 (undated).  Ms.
     Schuler has been the State of Hawai'i's consultant in
     designing the public access organizations.

 2.  Telephone interview with Sue Buske, The Buske Group, June 9,
     1995.

 3.  See 47 U.S.C.A. 151 et seq.

 4.  F.C.C. V. Midwest Video Corporation, 440 U.S. 689, 700-01
     (1979).

 5.  Daniel L. Brenner and Monroe E. Price, Cable Television and
     Other Nonbroadcast Video (Clark Boardman, New York, NY) 1988
     revision at 6-29.

 6.  House Report No. 98-934, 5 U.S. Cong. and Administrative
     News Vol. 6 (1984) at 4655.  House Report No. 98-934
     actually applied to the companion house bill, but the report
     states that the "Senate bill was passed in lieu of the House
     bill after amending its language to contain much of the text
     of the House bill."  Id.

 7.  Id. at 4667.

 8.  Legislative History of the Cable Television Consumer Act of
     1992, P.L. 102-385, 1992 USCCAN, Vol. 4, at 1185-86 (1992).

 9.  Comparisons are made to population totals, and not
     subscriber totals, since access is based on a person's
     status as a resident, and not whether he or she subscribes
     to cable television.  There are approximately 180 on the Na
     Leo waiting lists, more than half the number on 'Olelo's,
     even though the Big Island's population is only about
     fifteen percent of O'ahu's.  Kaua'i has a wait list of
     approximately 30, 10 percent of 'Olelo's and a population
     approximately six percent of O'ahu's.

10.  'Olelo, "Five Year Strategic Plan," draft #4 at 3 (May
     1995).

11.  This discussion is taken from materials prepared by Kathleen
     Schuler of Schuler & Associates for the City of Berkeley,
     California on PEG Access Management Models.
