The seven channels in the a la carte package  xwere eventually increased to 10. Individually, they cost $1.25 per month. As a package, their monthly  x=price was $5.25. None of Operator's 1,263 customers purchased the individual channels; whereas, all of them purchased the a la carte package.  Sp-  SH - ` x6.` ` In the Prior Order, the Commission found that the a la carte channels must be treated as  xla rateregulated CPST. Specifically, we found that the package did not meet the twopart test the  S - x=Commission had set out in an earlier order  "o {O- xԍ See Implementation of Sections of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992:  {O-Rate Regulation, 8 FCC Rcd. 5631 (1993). for determining when an a la carte package would be exempt  xyfrom rate regulation. First, the price for the combined package could not exceed the sum of the individual  xcharges for each component service; and, second, the cable operator would have to continue to provide  xthe component parts of the package to subscribers separately in addition to the package. The Commission  x said that the second part of the test would be satisfied only when "the per channel offering provides  S0- xconsumers with a realistic service choice."O0~o {ON-ԍ Id. at paras. 32728 and n.808.O While it was clear in the Prior Order that Operator had met  x the first part of the test, we found that the perchannel offerings did not constitute a realistic service  x=offering. One reason for this determination was that all of Operator's 1,263 customers subscribed to the  S- x>a la carte package.Go yOh-ԍ 10 FCC Rcd. 1002 at para. 19.G Another reason was that 90 percent of the channels in the a la carte package had  xcome from regulated tiers. We found that Operator had essentially taken what would have been a rate xregulated tier and called it an a la carte package. We found further that this retiering constituted an  S@-evasion of rate regulation.D@o {O-ԍ Id. at paras. 2023.D  S- ` x7.` ` Operator has filed an application for review of the Prior Order. Operator maintains that  xthe disposition of its application for review will determine our regulatory treatment of its SatPac in the  S- xabovereferenced matter.W2 o {Or#-ԍ See Yearwood Letter, supra, n.12.W Pending resolution of its application for review in the Prior Order, Operator  Sx- xhas submitted Version B of its FCC Forms, which treats Operator's SatPac as a regulated CPST.Zx o yO%- xԍ Operator stated that it presented the Version B forms for information only and that it plans to file a formal  xYCost of Service showing with regard to the abovereferenced community should the Commission ultimately rule that  {Ol'-the a la carte service offering in the Prior Order is a regulated CPST. Id.ď We"x,_(_(II"  xnote the similarities between the facts in our Prior Order and those in the instant case. Operator followed  x>a parallel restructuring of channels in its neighboring service areas to create similar a la carte packages  S- xin each. In our Prior Order, all of Operator's subscribers received the a la carte package. In the above xreferenced community, 3,990 of a total of 4,019 customers more than 99 percent subscribed to  xSatPac. Consequently, as we found in our Prior Order, we find that in the community referenced above  xthe perchannel offerings do not constitute a realistic service offering. Rather, we find that Operator's  xzSatPac constitutes a rateregulated CPST. For this reason, we have reviewed Version B of Operator's FCC Forms.  S- ` x8.` ` Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 393, we find that Operator's maximum permitted  xrate ("MPR") of $4.05 was not unreasonable. Operator's actual CPST rate, however, effective September  x=1, 1993 through May 14, 1994, was $5.25. Because Operator's actual CPST rate exceeded its MPR, we find Operator's actual CPST rate of $5.25 to be unreasonable.  S - ` x9.` ` Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1200, we find that Operator's MPR of $5.23 was  xjnot unreasonable. Operator's actual CPST rate effective May 15, 1994 through December 31, 1994, was  x$5.25, however. Because Operator's actual CPST rate exceeded its MPR, we find Operator's actual CPST  SX-rate of $5.25 to be unreasonable.Xo yO- xԍ We did not receive a deferral of refund liability request from the Operator. Consequently, Operator's refund liability for its CPST rates not justified on its FCC Form 1200 filings begins on May 15, 1994.  S- ` x 10.` ` Upon review of Operator's first FCC Form 1210, for the period April 1, 1994 to  xkDecember 31, 1994, we find that Operator's MPR of $5.70 was not unreasonable. Because Operator  xLcontinued to charge an actual CPST rate of $5.25, effective January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, we find that Operator's CPST rate was not unreasonable.  S@- ` 3x 11.` ` Upon review of Operator's second FCC Form 1210, for the period January 1, 1995 to  xkDecember 31, 1995, we find that Operator's MPR of $5.63 was not unreasonable. Because Operator  xycontinued to charge an actual CPST rate of $5.25, effective January 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996, we find that Operator's CPST rate was not unreasonable.  Sx- ` x 12.` ` Operator's FCC Form 1240 set rates for the projected period October 1, 1996 to  xSeptember 30, 1997. Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1240, we find that Operator's MPR of $6.76  xis not unreasonable. However, because Operator's actual CPST rate of $7.85, effective October 1, 1996  S-to September 30, 1997, exceeds its MPR, we find that Operator's CPST rate is unreasonable.  o yO- x-ԍ The findings herein are based solely on the representations of Operator.
