| History
of the Hartford CATV Franchise June, 1976 The initial application for the Hartford area franchise was foiled with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) by New England Industries, Inc. (NEI) of New York City, on April 21, 1964. On March 21, 1967, New England Industries, Inc was granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity by the PUC to construct and operate a cable television system in the towns of Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, Windsor, Bloomfield and Simsbury. Shortly thereafter, NEI formed a subsidiary corporation, Hartford CATV, Inc to operate the franchise. The firm was owned 95% by NEI and 5% by Irving s. Ribicoff and David Kotkin of Hartford. |
