upgrades. The FCC Form 1235 ``Abbreviated Cost of Service Filing for
Cable Network Upgrades'', is to be used by cable operators when
undertaking these upgrades. This form allows cable operators to justify
rate increases related to capital expenditures used to improve services
to regulated cable subscribers. Operators wishing to establish a
network upgrade rate increase should file this form following the end
of month in which upgrade cable services become available and are
providing benefits to the customers. In addition, this form can be
filed for pre-approval any time prior to the upgraded services becoming
available to the subscribers using projected upgrade costs. If the pre-
approval option is exercised, the operator must file the form again
following the end of the month in which upgrade cable services become
available and are providing benefits to customers of regulated
services, using actual costs where applicable.
