PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following action:

The Commission adopted an order on October 30, 2018 granting a petition, filed by Slic Network Solutions, Inc. and HCCI LLC on October 29, 2018, requesting approval, pursuant to Public Service Law (PSL) § 222, for the acquisition of certain of the cable television system assets, including franchises, certificates of confirmation and facilities, owned by Hamilton County Cable T.V., Inc.

Preservation of public safety and general welfare.

Hamilton County Cable T.V., Inc. (HCC), is an independently owned and operated cable television system in rural communities in the Adirondack Park. The five municipalities served by HCC are; the Towns of Wells, Lake Pleasant, Indian Lake, and Johnsburg, and the Village of Speculator. The Company stated that its owners are unable to continue operation of the cable television system and that they intend to cease operations on November 1, 2018.

Therefore, action was necessary to protect the safety, and welfare of the Company’s customers. Approval of Slic and HCCI’s acquisitions needed to be taken on an emergency basis because of the need to ensure service is continued without delay.
