John C. Malone, Ph.D., Chairman, Liberty Media Corporation:
“I think it’s great news to see an entrepreneur of Bill’s caliber re-entering the business… Having Bill’s tireless energy, sensible approach and balanced demeanor back in the industry couldn’t be more welcome…Bill personifies the essence of the cable industry. Just like cable TV itself, Bill started at the bottom and worked his way up to becoming a leading operator of broadband cable networks in the United States and even internationally.”

The ILEC Advisor, 2/15/03:
Bresnan Communications developed a solid reputation for providing good service in rural areas such as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and coastal Georgia…With an experienced and innovative rural cable operator like Bresnan taking over the Comcast properties in Mont., Colo., Wyo. and Utah, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting.”

Brian Swift - Governor Engler’s former Northern Michigan representative:
“Bresnan is certainly a cutting edge company, a leader in technology. Nowhere is it more important to have a company of their stature than here in northern Michigan when we have to travel such great distances. It is especially important when it comes to the education of our young people.”

Margaret Dowd - Mayor of Mackinac Island, Michigan:
“We had been waiting to get cable television on Mackinac Island and several other companies had looked at us but they wouldn’t do it because we’re such a small market. So I always credit Bresnan…they stepped to the plate and did it for us and really brought us into the 21st century.”

Multichannel News, 1/12/98:
“A town on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has shelved plans for a municipal video network after discovering that it’s already served by the Cadillac of [cable television operators]. Gladstone, Mich., a community of 4,565 residents on the Lake Michigan shore, pulled back after its consultants informed the city that only 2 percent of U.S. cable viewers get better service than what’s offered locally by Bresnan Communications Co. ‘I’ve been told that it’s some of the finest [cable] service in the country,’ said Brian Horst, who called Bresnan a ‘Cadillac’ in an industry where ‘there aren’t many Rolls-Royces.’ ”

Alan Gerry, President, Granite Associates LP (founder of Cablevision Industries):
“You couldn’t listen to Bill without being impressed with his sincerity, and he always kept his promises. The most important thing that I can say is that Bill has opened the door when many of us didn’t know a door had to be opened.”

Michael Buda - former Mayor of Bay City, Michigan:
“When we work with the people from Bresnan, from the service men to the people in the office to the people in management, they all seem to be fair and honest and upright and easy to deal with and easy to get along with.”
