Mr. Grogan stated the purpose of the application is to seek a cable television franchise. MetroNet
is focused on providing broadband. The City of Chanhassen does not have authority to issue a
broadband franchise through a fiber optic system; therefore, the regulatory path is to obtain a
cable franchise. MetroNet has made it clear they are competing for broadband residential and
commercial customers.
Mayor Ryan added that the Council had not yet read the email from Mediacom as they were in
Council work session when it was sent. The email will be included in the packet.
