China Cablecom Holdings (CABL)

China Cablecom Holdings is a joint-venture provider of cable television services in the People's Republic of China, operating in partnership with a local state-owned enterprise ("SOE") authorized by the PRC government to control the distribution of cable TV services. China Cablecom originally acquired operating rights of the network it currently operates in Binzhou, Shandong Province in September 2007 by entering into a series of asset purchase and services agreements with a company organized by SOEs owned directly or indirectly by local branches of SARFT in five different municipalities to serve as a holding company of the relevant businesses. Binzhou Broadcasting operates a cable network with approximately 411,246 paying subscribers as of December 31, 2007. China Cablecom Holdings' strategy is to replicate the acquisition by operating partnership models in other municipalities in Shandong Province in the PRC and then introducing operating efficiencies and increasing service offerings in the networks it operates.
