  • Programming exclusivity in favor of our competitors could adversely affect the demand for our video services.

  • A phase-out of the compulsory copyright license for broadcast programming could adversely affect our ability to carry the programming transmitted by broadcast stations or could increase our programming costs.
  • Risks related to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment

  • Changes in broadcast carriage regulations could impose significant additional costs on us.
The other 23 risks

  • Regulation of the set-top box market could materially and adversely impact our operations and impose additional costs on us.
  • If our trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets and our business may be adversely affected.
  • Tax matters, including the changes in corporate tax rates, disagreements with taxing authorities and imposition of new taxes, including new tax legislation, could impact our results of operations and financial condition.
  • The FCC and local franchising authorities exercise authority over cable television systems and the FCC and state PSCs exercise authority over telecommunications and VoIP services.
  • Risks Relating to Our Outstanding Indebtedness
  • We have substantial indebtedness, which may increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and may limit our ability to pursue strategic alternatives and react to changes in our business and industry.
