On August 30, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission
(IURC) awarded AT&T corporation a Certificate of Franchise Authority to
Provide Video Service in Indiana. Since AT&T prefers to keep details
confidential, it is known only that their video service will be offered
somewhere within AT&T current local exchange territory (area currently
receiving phone service from AT&T). Specific locations and dates of service
will be made known to the local unit of government and the commission at least
10 days before the service becomes available.
On August 14 the Daviess-Martin County Rural
Telephone Corporation also submitted an application to the IURC for TV
certification, to be approved by the commission in September. The
Daviess-Martin RTC local exchange service territory is in the Montgomery,
Plainville, Alfordsville-Glendale, and Trinity-Williams Exchanges in Daviess,
Martin, and Lawrence Counties. The RTC application is available for viewing on the
Electronic Filing System, accessible through the IURC website: www.in.gov/IURC.
