another interview with Alexander Rufus-Isaacs about TWC class-action lawsuit

In November, 2006, Alex Rufus-Isaacs, a partner in the Beverly Hills, California-based law firm of Glassman, Browning, & Saltsman, Inc., brought a lawsuit against Time Warner Cable for not delivering on the promises it had made to retain customers it acquired through its complicated buy-out/takeover of the bankrupt Adelphia Communications combined with a swap of cable territories with Comcast Cable.

This morning, Mr. Rufus-Isaacs talked with Etopia News about that lawsuit

Time Warner Cable says “we do not believe there is any basis for the lawsuit”

On April 11, 2007, Patti Rockenwagner, El Segundo, California-based Vice President of Regional Communications for Time Warner Cable, provided Etopia News with this statement about the class-action lawsuit being brought by Mr. Rufus-Isaacs on behalf of former Adelphia subscribers of Time Warner Cable by Mr. Rufus-Isaacs.

“It would be inappropriate to comment on a matter under litigation, except to say that we do not believe there is any basis for the lawsuit. Rather, we remain focused on continuing with the massive task of transitioning Adelphia and Comcast systems with Time Warner Cable so we can ultimately bring our customers superior products and services.”
