The following is a transcript of Tom Rutledge's remarks made available in a video on Charter's internal website.

New Charter

The way we’ve approached cable at Charter is the way we are going to approach cable at New Charter. That is essentially what we’re calling the company. It’s New Charter. It’s the way we run Charter. It’s about putting the customer first and having excellent service, excellent products, investing in your networks, investing in people and in training, and building a better company so that our services last in the home.

We’re making headway with that in Charter. Our service calls are way down, our growth is up, our customers are more satisfied, and all of that is a result of the hard work we’ve done over the last three and a half years, at least that I’ve been here, and the hard work that was done before I got here.

We’re going to have to do the same thing going forward in the new company. We’re going to have to go all-digital. We are going to have to have new pricing and packaging. We’re going to have to improve our service, and we’re going to have to be organized in a way to make that all happen.

Creating Growth and Value

In fact, from an economic point of view, the value of the company both today and in the future is a function of what Charter is doing today. So, if we can make the Time Warner and Bright House assets that we’re acquiring work like Charter’s working right now, at the growth rate that Charter is producing and the quality of service improvements that Charter is making, and translate those into the new company, the whole company will be more valuable.

One of the ways that we’re going to have to prove that investments we’re going to make in Time Warner Cable and Bright House, like going all-digital and upping the data speeds and improving service, and bringing more work back on shore. Since I’ve been at Charter, we’ve hired a net 7,000 people. In the new company, we are going to have to hire another 20,000 people. We are going to be building new call centers. We are going to be buying our own trucks, tools and test equipment and running the business like Charter.

And as we make those investments, people are going to want to know that they’re going to work. The thing we’re going to point to is to Charter, to historic Charter. We’re going to show that historic Charter’s growth rate is superior to anybody’s in the industry right now, and Charter’s service is better than anyone in the industry. We’ll use that as a case in point, and as an example, for what’s going to happen to the new assets, to the new companies coming in.

It’s critical that we make all that work, but it’s also critical that we don’t take our eye off the ball in terms of what we’re doing at Charter because Charter is the test case for the value that we are about to create.
