In September, Oceanic's attorney informed me by letter copied to OCP that it considers the case closed, and revealed portions of settlement discussions I had with Ms. Fujimoto in September.I have since revealed that Oceanic's May settlement proposal would have, among other things, provided me with a 100% refund for my Road Runner service without discontinuing the service.The case is not closed in my mind, and it has not been closed by the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.

I also received independent legal advice that because their attorney, Beth Fujimoto, Esq., neglected to have me execute a confidentiality agreement with respect to receiving their previous settlement offer, there is nothing to prevent me from publishing their offer. (They disagree, but I'm sure they're wrong.) My original settlement proposal to the Company would have involved a refund (that could have been over $2 million) distributed to all Hawaii Road Runner customers.The matter is still before the State of Hawaii Office of Consumer Protection.The State Of Hawaii DCCA CATV Division and OCP have both been doing an excellent job.So far, they have not let Oceanic slip out of this, and it is refreshing to see that our State Government is doing such a good job!"Lucky to live Hawaii.Aloha!"
