CONSOLIDATED APPLICATION

Pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214 (the

“Act”), and Part 63 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.01 et seq. (the “Rules”), the

Applicants, who collectively are Radiate Holdings, L.P. (“Radiate Holdings” or “Transferee”)

and Yankee Cable Partners, LLC (“Yankee Partners”) and Grande Investment L.P. (“Grande

Investment”) (individually each a “Transferor” and collectively the “Transferors”), respectfully

request Commission approval to consummate transactions (the “Transactions”) whereby

Transferee will acquire control of domestic and international Section 214 authorizations held by

certain of Transferors’ subsidiaries to provide telecommunications services. Because the

Transactions will strengthen an existing, independent source of video, high-speed Internet, voice,

and business data services competition in markets dominated by some of the nation’s largest

providers of such services and will not reduce competition or consumers’ choices, the

Commission should find that consummation of the Transactions is in the public interest.

I. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANTS

A. Radiate Holdings (Transferee)

Transferee Radiate Holdings, a Delaware limited partnership, is a holding company that

will be majority owned and controlled by certain investment funds ultimately controlled by the

principals of TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG Capital” and, together with its affiliates, “TPG”). The

principals of TPG Capital, David Bonderman and James G. Coulter, each are United States

citizens. Over the past 24 years, TPG has provided resources and expertise to help strengthen

and grow its portfolio companies, differentiating itself from other investors by providing

innovative solutions to complex and challenging situations in various sectors. TPG, which

currently has $73 billion of assets under management, has extensive experience with global

public and private investments and is one of the most active private equity investors in the

Internet ecosystem.

Certain individuals and entities will hold minority, non-controlling equity interests in

Transferee Radiate Holdings as limited partners. These limited partners will not have any ability

to control or be involved in the day-to-day business operations, activities, and decisions or to

manage the day-to-day operations of Radiate Holdings. The direct limited partners in Radiate

Holdings will be TPG VII Radiate Holdings I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership in which

Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter have indirect 100 percent control; Google Capital, which

consists of a series of Delaware limited partnerships ultimately owned by Alphabet Inc.; Rio FD

Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Dragoneer Investment Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability

company; and certain members of the management team from Patriot Media Consulting, LLC, a

New Jersey limited liability company (“Patriot Media”). Other than TPG VII Radiate Holdings

I, L.P., none of the limited partners in Radiate Holdings will have an equity interest in Radiate

Holdings of ten percent or more.

Radiate Holdings will be managed by a newly formed Delaware limited liability

company, Radiate Holdings GP, LLC (“Radiate GP”), formed to serve as the general partner of

Radiate Holdings. Radiate GP will have responsibility for the management, operation and

control of Radiate Holdings’ business and affairs. The Board of Directors of Radiate GP will

initially consist of not less than seven members and will be controlled by TPG. Patriot Media,

which currently manages the business of RCN Telecom Services, LLC (“RCN-TS”) and Grande

Communications Networks LLC (“Grande Networks”) and their respective subsidiaries on

behalf of Yankee Cable Parent, LLC (“Yankee Parent”) and Grande Parent LLC (“Grande

Parent”), respectively, will continue to manage both RCN-TS and Grande Networks on behalf of

Transferee following the closing of the Transactions. Jim Holanda, the current Chief Executive

Officer of Patriot Media, and Steve Simmons, the current Chairman of Patriot Media, will each

serve as initial members of the Radiate GP Board of Directors, and one member of the Board of

Directors of Radiate GP will be appointed by Google Capital.

B. Yankee Partners (Transferor)

Transferor Yankee Partners is a Delaware limited liability company that currently is the

direct, 100 percent owner of Yankee Parent, which is a Delaware limited liability company and,

through Yankee Parent, the indirect 100 percent owner of RCN-TS. As of June 30, 2016,

Transferor Yankee Partners, through RCN-TS and its subsidiaries, was providing digital

television, high-speed Internet, and voice telecommunications services to approximately 474,000

subscribers in Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and

Washington, D.C. Transferor Yankee Partners is an indirect subsidiary of ABRY Partners VI,

L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

2

C. Grande Investment (Transferor)

telecommunications services to approximately 166,500 subscribers in Texas through its

subsidiary Grande Networks. Transferor Grande Investment is an indirect subsidiary of ABRY

Partners VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTIONS

On August 12, 2016, Radiate Holdco, LLC (“Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability

company and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Transferee Radiate Holdings, entered into

a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Transferor Yankee Partners and its wholly-

owned subsidiary, Yankee Parent (the “Yankee Purchase Agreement”). At the closing of the

transactions contemplated by the Yankee Purchase Agreement, Holdco will acquire from

Transferor Yankee Partners all of the outstanding membership interests of Yankee Parent. As a

result of these transactions, Yankee Parent will become a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of

Holdco. All of Yankee Parent’s existing subsidiaries that hold FCC licenses or authorizations

will remain intact and will continue to hold their operating tangible and intangible assets.

On August 12, 2016, Holdco also entered into a Membership Interest Purchase

Agreement with Transferor Grande Investment and its wholly-owned subsidiary Grande Parent

(the “Grande Purchase Agreement”). At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the

Grande Purchase Agreement, Holdco will acquire from Transferor Grande Investment all of the

outstanding membership interests of Grande Parent. As a result of these transactions, Grande

Parent will become a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Holdco. Grande Networks, the wholly-

III. PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

A. Introduction

The Transactions will generate public interest benefits without posing any actual or

potential harms to consumers or competition. In particular, consummation of the Transactions

will strengthen an existing, independent source of video, high-speed Internet, voice, and business

data services competition in markets served by some of the nation’s largest providers of such

services, including Comcast, Charter, Verizon, and AT&T. Moreover, the Transactions will not

adversely disrupt the day-to-day service provided to consumers or otherwise reduce competition

and consumer choice. The Transactions will enhance the provision of innovative and reliable

communications services by an experienced, competent, and responsive provider. Competition

will be stimulated and innovation spurred without risk to consumer interests. Thus, the

Commission should find that the Transactions provide a public interest benefit.

B. The Transactions Will Produce Public Interest Benefits

RCN-TS and Grande Networks, and their subsidiary operating companies, have a history

of giving consumers a choice of innovative, reliable, high-quality services. They have a

presence in some of the most competitive urban and suburban markets in the country, including

New York City, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Dallas, and Austin. RCN-TS

and Grande Networks also bring competitive choices for advanced services to fast-growing areas

in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania and to several smaller cities in Texas.

Led by Patriot Media’s experienced management team, the RCN-TS and Grande

Networks operating subsidiaries have fashioned and implemented a tech-forward strategy that

has accelerated – and will continue to propel post-Transactions – the deployment of state-of-the-

art technologies, thereby strengthening their competitive position in the markets they serve. For

example, RCN-TS and Grande Networks have launched DOCSIS 3.0 and increased Internet

5

speeds in all markets. They also have deployed an integrated Netflix service, partnered with

TiVo to offer cutting edge navigation devices, provided subscribers ways to easily access

YouTube and Hulu through the TiVo platform, and begun offering HBOGO and a branded TV

Everywhere service. These efforts have paid off in terms of consumer satisfaction, with RCN

being named PC Magazine’s Reader’s Choice for Best ISP the past two years.3

The Transactions will enhance the ability of the RCN-TS and Grande Networks operating

subsidiaries to build on this record of achievement. The proven Patriot Media team, which

currently and in the future will manage the day-to-day operations of both RCN-TS and Grande

Networks, will be able to achieve greater operational efficiencies and adopt and implement more

focused strategies when the two subsidiaries are integrated. Under the pre-Transactions

ownership structure, RCN-TS and Grande Networks operate separately, including to obtain

financing and to negotiate with programmers and other vendors. The Transactions will bring

RCN-TS and Grande Networks under the common umbrella of Transferee Radiate Holdings.

This structure will allow the operating subsidiaries to have a single strategic focus. The Patriot

Media team will be able to benefit from more favorable financing and programming

arrangements and to achieve greater operational efficiencies. This will facilitate system

improvements such as completing a footprint-wide upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1 that will further

increase Internet speeds and will enable the operating subsidiaries to compete more effectively

against larger, national rivals in both the residential and business sectors.

At a time when the industry is marked by growing consolidation, the presence in the

marketplace of a well-funded, competitive, independent source of advanced video and broadband

6

services becomes all the more important. The Transactions’ public interest benefits go beyond

investments and improvements that will be made in the RCN-TS and Grande Networks operating

subsidiaries. Those investments and improvements will drive other competitors to make their

own investments and improvements. This is yet another example of the “virtuous cycle” that the

Commission has identified as benefitting the public interest and has sought to promote through

its broadband rules and policies.

C. The Transactions Will Not Result in Any Harm to the Public Interest

The Transactions will not result in any harms to consumers or competition or violate any

Commission rule or policy. They also will not result in any horizontal consolidation among

overlapping cable or telecommunications providers or result in any adverse disruption in the

systems’ day-to-day operations.

Competition and consumer choice will be sustained after the Transactions. Taken

together, the Transactions will give Transferee control over non-overlapping subsidiaries that

provide cable and OVS service to more than 640,000 video, voice, and high-speed Internet

subscribers. The Transferee will be the third largest wireline provider of services in most of the

communities where it offers services – behind companies such as Comcast, Charter, Verizon,

and AT&T – and will have a significantly smaller national presence than those competitors.

Thus, although the Transactions will give RCN-TS and Grande Networks and their operating

subsidiaries increased scale to compete effectively in increasingly consolidated video and

broadband markets, they will not pose any of the competitive risks that the Commission has

raised when considering mergers among larger service providers.4 More specifically, the

Applicants submit the following, as requested by Sections 63.04(a)(6) through (a)(12) of the

Rules.

(a)(6) Description of the Transactions

A description of the Transactions is set forth in Section II above.

(a)(7) Description of Geographic Service Areas

Transferee does not directly or through subsidiaries currently provide
telecommunications services in the U.S.

A description of the geographic service areas served by RCN-TS and Grande

(a)(8) Eligibility for Streamlined Processing

A statement demonstrating the Application’s qualification for streamlined
processing is provided in Section IV above.

(a)(9) Other Related Applications

The Applicants have filed simultaneous applications with the Commission
seeking authority to transfer control of RCN-TS and Grande Network subsidiaries
that hold Commission licenses relating to their cable system and Open Video
System properties, including Cable Television Relay Services licenses, an earth
station license, and various private radio licenses. These licenses are set forth in
Attachment C. RCN-TS and Grande Networks and their subsidiaries do not hold
any common carrier radio licenses.

The list of call signs and file numbers set forth in Attachment C is intended to
include all of the licenses and authorizations held by the respective licensees or
lessees that are subject to the Transactions. However, RCN-TS and/or Grande
Networks licensees may now have on file, and may hereafter file, additional
requests for authorizations for new or modified facilities that may be granted
before the Commission takes action on this Application. Accordingly, the
Applicants request that any Commission approval of the applications filed for the
Transactions described herein include authority for Transferee to acquire control
of: (1) any authorization issued to RCN-TS and/or Grande Networks or their
subsidiaries while the Transactions are pending before the Commission and the
period required for consummation of the Transactions; (2) any construction
permits held by RCN-TS and/or Grande Networks or their subsidiaries that
mature into licenses after closing; and (3) any applications that are pending at the
time of consummation. Such action would be consistent with the Commission’s
prior decisions.5 Applicants also request that Commission approval include any
authorizations that may have been inadvertently omitted.

(a)(10) Special Considerations

None of the Applicants is facing imminent business failure. Nevertheless, prompt
completion of the proposed Transactions is critical to ensure that Applicants can

The FCC’s Universal Licensing System indicates that the wireless licenses with call signs WQQF562

FRN is registered to RF Datacom Inc., the consultant that filed the applications for those licenses, and
Grande Communications, Inc. was inadvertently used as the licensee name for those applications; Grande
Communications Networks LLC succeeded Grande Communications, Inc. as an entity long before the
licenses were issued. Grande Communications Networks LLC has therefore always been the proper
licensee for the licenses. The Applicants are working to correct this administrative error.
