ABOUT CHINA CABLECOM
China Cablecom is a joint-venture provider
of cable television services in the People's Republic of China,
operating in partnership with a local state-owned enterprise authorized
by the PRC government to control the distribution of cable TV
services ("SOE"). China Cablecom acquired operating
rights of the network it currently operates in Binzhou, Shandong
Province in September 2007 by entering into a series of asset
purchase and services agreements with a company organized by SOEs

different municipalities to serve as a holding company of the
relevant businesses. Binzhou Broadcasting operates a cable network

Cablecom's strategy is to replicate the acquisition by operating
