TWC in prime position to capitalize on industry trends and TV/Broadband convergence

1) Promote Broadband’s competitive strength

- vs. non-existent DBS- vs. slower AT&T- vs. unavailable FIOS

2) Develop new multi-platform technologies

- Second Screen Apps- Wirelessly Connected and

Personalized DVR

TWC should reposition Broadband as primary service

3) Investigate Strategic Partnerships with Tech

- Combine cable and tech industry strengths

- Share infrastructure expansion costs

Page 12: A New Connection with Customers

Summary• Time Warner Cable losing subscribers primarily due

to low customer satisfaction versus its competition New dedication to premium customer service to

associate TWC brand with quality and reliability Loyalty and referral programs will also help to curb

subscriber loss and boost involvement in brand• While cord-cutting not significant issue, cable TV

future is filled with uncertainty Repositioning broadband as signature offering will

ensure TWC brand maintains strong relevance in consumer’s minds
