ORDER
Adopted:  August 26, 2008 Released:  August 26, 2008
By the Chief, Media Bureau:
1. By this Order, we extend for an additional 60 days, on our own motion, the deadline for 
Commission action on the Petition for De Novo Review (“Petition”)1 filed by Time Warner Cable Inc. 
(“Time Warner”) on July 2, 2008, in the above-captioned matter.  Time Warner filed its Petition seeking 
review of an adverse ruling in an arbitration proceeding2 conducted pursuant to a condition in the 
Adelphia Order.3 Under the Adelphia Order, the Commission must act on Time Warner’s Petition not 
more than 60 days after it was filed, but may extend this review period for an additional 60 days.4 Given 
the substantial record compiled in the course of the year-long arbitration proceeding and the complexity 
of the issues, we find that extending the review period for an additional 60 days will enable the 
Commission to review more fully the arbitration decision at issue, and thus serves the public interest.
