We find Ameritech's  xpresence and Coaxial's subscriber loss as evidence that Ameritech is physically able to offer  X - xservice in the cable community at issue. While the entire franchise area is still in the process  xof being wired, Ameritech's franchise agreement provides for Ameritech to construct its system  X - xkthroughout the City of Columbus.F "{ {Oz- xԍSee Ameritech's franchise agreement with the City of Columbus at Section 2A (attached as Exhibit A to Time  xhWarner's Petition for Special Relief) (Ameritech will "construct and operate a Cable Communications System within  {O - x,the City and in, under, or over the streets, highways, and other public property or public grounds of the City.")

Extensive marketing and promotional material for Ameritech are attached as exhibits in Time Warner's effective competition proceeding. Within the area that Ameritech has wired, potential  x\subscribers are able to receive service for only a minimal additional investment and without  xMregulatory, technical or other impediments. Subsequent to the introduction of competition,  X- x[Coaxial has upgraded its physical plant and reconfigured its prices and services for the benefit",N(N(ZZQ"  xxof its subscribers.
