Hello All,

Would someone be kind enough to list the companies that CMTO is currently doing business with. I may have some of them confused, somehow it's difficult to keep all this straight. Is Time Warner one of them. Clarification may help the stock also. Thank You.

Time Warner Communications, Columbus Division Expands to 20 Counties
Business Wire - June 30, 1999 18:02
COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 1999--Time Warner Communications, Columbus Division is expanding its service area to a 20-county Central Ohio region, announced company president Terry O'Connell today.

The division is expected to welcome more than 250 new communities as the result of several recent developments:

-- Time Warner has reorganized its four Ohio cable divisions. As a
result, service areas as far north as Crawford County and as far
west as Logan County will now be a part of the Columbus Division.
The reorganization, based on geographic area and media
boundaries, addresses Time Warner's continuing growth in Ohio to
ensure the best service to the company's nearly 1 million Ohio
customers. Among the new communities joining the Columbus
Division are Bucyrus, Mt. Vernon, Thornville, Mt. Gilead,
Marysville, London, Utica, and Waldo;

-- Earlier this year, Time Warner Communications completed a trade
of cable systems with TCI Cablevision of Ohio, Inc. The
transaction brought Zanesville and 30 other communities
throughout Muskingum, Perry and Morgan Counties to the Columbus
Division;

-- Yet another expansion is expected later this year following
completion of a transaction with Media One that will further
extend the service area into Athens County. Forty-plus
communities are expected to join the Columbus Division, including
Athens, Lancaster, and Circleville, as well as north communities
such as Crestline and Galion.

"We are delighted to welcome all of these new communities to the Time Warner Columbus family," said O'Connell. "We've established a long history in Central Ohio of providing experienced, dedicated and innovative service to our customers. We are pleased to extend that same commitment to our new customers throughout our expanded service area."
Customers new to the Columbus Division will soon begin seeing billing improvements, such as easier-to-read statements, more timely bills and due dates and improved cycle billing, which will spread out the billing process over 28 days. Monthly rates will not change.

Local customer service numbers will remain the same during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Beginning next week, customers can call a service representative after business hours at 1-800-492-9324 to report outages or other service problems.

Previously, Time Warner Communications, Columbus Division served nearly 200,000 households in 39 central Ohio communities, located throughout Franklin County, southern Delaware County and northern Pickaway County. It is a division of Time Warner Cable, which owns and manages the world's most advanced, best clustered cable television operations, with 80 percent of its 12 million customers in systems of 100,000 subscribers or more. Time Warner Cable is a division of Time Warner Entertainment.

>Charter Communications is one of CMTO's best customers. The
>addition of Bresnan Communications will increase their customer base.

I own CMTO, and wish this was true, but it may not be.

I have @Home internet access through Bresnan - they took over the
TCI franchise for Rochester, MN in Feb (mentioned in press release
you posted, in Feb they got 400,000 TCI customers). I already
have a CMTO modem, rented from TCI, then Bresnan, and in the
future, Charter. Since TCI/Bresnan was also a good CMTO customer,
Bresnan may not need to switch to CMTO to make Charter happy,
casting some doubt on benefit to CMTO.

I'm only one Bresnan customer, just a data point...
