The ITC has announced that it has received two applications to run the local cable delivery franchise for Chesterfield.
The applicants are: Diamond Cable, a subsidiary of the company which already operates the franchises for Mansfield and Nottingham, bidding £2,127,300 and proposing to offer service to 89,000 homes by 2005; and Eastern Derbyshire Cable Communications, a subsidiary of Yorkshire Cable which operates the franchise for Sheffield and Doncaster, bidding £1 and proposing to offer service to 34,112 homes by 2001.
If the technical plan is acceptable to the ITC and it appears that the applicant would be able to maintain service throughout the franchise period, then the franchise is normally awarded to the highest bidder. The ITC hopes to announce its decision in the spring or early summer.
