Advertiser Staff
A state deadline to decide whether Hawai'i's major telephone company can offer TV services has been delayed until June 30.The original deadline was yesterday. Hawaiian Telcom requested the extension — its eighth.
Hawaiian Telcom is seeking a cable franchise license from the state, which would give the company the right to offer video service in Honolulu over its phone lines in competition with Time Warner Oceanic Cable. The state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs is reviewing the company's application.
Hawaiian Telcom has said it plans to launch the Internet-based television in early 2008.
