Clearly your action has forced the Tele-Communications, Inc. hierarchy to take Immediate action in resolving their owls disregard for the desires of the community. As we discussed, the Chairman of TCI, Dr. John Malone, met with the Vice-Chairman'of our company of January 9th. While our management felt the meeting provided a good beginning, I was surprised when TCI executives stated for the record, that SportsChannel Florida would be added in 30 to 60 days. Your request for an update in 30 days should shed light on the true intentions of TCI's claim. I would appreciate it if your office would notify me on the date of TCI's update. I promise I will be in attendance and willing to offer the Commissioners SportsChannel'n version of TCI's claims. Again, your actions are greatly appreciated. Y, H. Centhner Manager JHG:js Executive Court I, 2295 Corporate Blvd N.W., Suite 140, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (407) 994-�
