Mr. Gouldman <br />stated that the ordinance was a revenue raising measure and <br />not done in order to level the playing field. Mr. Gouldman <br />continued that the product of Adelphia and CQC is essentially <br />the same, with the difference being that CQC does not use the <br />City's streets. Mr. Gouldman recommended that, if approved, <br />the effective date be made January 1, 1993. <br /> <br />The public hearing was opened. <br /> <br /> Mr. Stan Allen, President and one of the founders of <br />Charlottesville Quality Cable Corporation, opposed the <br />imposition of the tax on the basis that they only use the <br />airwaves and are not public utiliities. <br /> <br /> Mr. Randy Fisher, General Counsel for Adelphia Cable, <br />stated that he felt the tax should be imposed and noted the <br />similarity between CQC and cel. lular phones which are taxed. <br />Mr. Fisher stated that he felt the issue was one of equal <br />protection. <br /> <br /> As there were no further speakers the public hearing was <br />closed. <br /> <br /> <br />
