<br />II. EVALUATION OF PROPOSED TRANSFER <br /> <br />In any franchise transfer, a number of considerations must be taken into <br />account, including the following: <br /> <br />. Whether the transferor has been, and currently is, in <br />compliance with the requirements of the existing franchise. <br /> <br />. Whether the transferee agrees to comply with the <br />requirements of the existing franchise, or wishes to change <br />any of the franchise terms. <br /> <br />. Whether the transferee is regally, financially and technically <br />qualified to operate the cable system, <br /> <br />. What impact the transfer may have on cable subscribers and <br />the franchising municipality (e.g., the impact upon subscriber <br />rates, quality of service or degree of competition in the <br />community). <br /> <br />. What conditions, if any, the franchisor can legitimately <br />impose upon the transfer. <br /> <br />These issues are reviewed in this report. <br /> <br />In contrast, a franchise renewal opens up for discussion and negotiation <br />all aspects of a new agreement. <br /> <br />A.
