Ian S. Crowe - Vice-Chairman, Media, Telecom & Technology
Group, The Toronto-Dominion Bank:
We began banking with Bresnan Communications when it
was founded in 1984, and over the years, have come to think of ourselves as
part of the team that has helped the company thrive. Bresnans management
team amply demonstrates its vision and a deep commitment to its employees,
partners, bankers and industry initiatives such as Cable in the Classroom
and C-SPAN.
M. Cameron Howes - former Mayor of Marquette, Michigan:
It takes time to build a level of trust in a company
and I think were at a point with Bresnan
when they say theyre going to do
something, we believe it. Their integrity really cannot be questioned. They
have done an exceptional job for us in the city of Marquette.
Jerald L. Kent - former President and CEO of Charter
Communications, on the acquisition of Bresnan Communications:
My hat is off to Bill Bresnan, one of the truly great
cable entrepreneurs who made the industry what it is today. He is a man
whose word is golden. I appreciate the grace with which he turned over the
keys...
Doug Johnson - Supervisor of District Media Services and Member of
the Cable Advisory Board, Mankato, Minnesota:
I can count on [Bresnans] honesty, I can count on
their reliability, I can count on them being there when I have a question
and they can explain it to me in simple English. I guess that I just get
the sense that I could pick up the phone and call Mr. Bresnan and hed be
willing to listen to any concerns I might have. Fortunately Ive not had to
do that, but I do get that definite impression.
I am a member of the citys cable advisory board, I
speak on behalf of the educators in the area. Ive been on that board for
about seven years, both before Bresnan was the major cable provider and
after. I can comment to the fact that we have an annual meeting that is a
call-in kind of a thing and when the previous cable operator was operating
the system we could count on those meetings being two and three hours long,
full of citizen complaints and concerns. Since Bresnan has taken over we
get virtually no calls.
Gary Doty - Mayor of Duluth, Minnesota:
We have an excellent working relationship with
Bresnan. One of the things that youd normally be concerned about if you
only have one company in your particular city is that that they wouldnt
really care about whats going on in the city. Bresnan does. Theyve become
involved in all of our various activities in our community. They are people
within our community who take an active interest in whats going on.
Beth Christensen - 1998 Minnesota Teacher of the Year, Mankato,
Minnesota:
I really have been impressed with the Bresnan
corporation. Since they put in our fiber optic system here at school our
technology has greatly improved. Things are faster, pictures are clearer. I
teach eighth graders and theres nothing worse than having 32 eighth
graders in a computer lab waiting for things to load. Its not a pretty
sight. Im thankful that we have a really good system that allows speed and
it makes my job so much easier.
