Falcon contends that where there is no dispute concerning the figures or the accuracy of the calculations presented in the cable operator's rate justification forms, the LFA must approve the rate derived from the form, citing the Bureau's prior decisions in Century Cable of Southern California, and TCI of Southeast Mississippi.
Falcon adds that the County's statements are insufficient to meet the Commission's requirement that franchising authorities issue written decisions which affirmatively demonstrate why a proposed rate is unreasonable and that LFAs may not consider things such as signal quality when reviewing an operator's BST rate justification.
