In TCI's view, if the residual cannot move with a CPST channel, then the residual associated with a BST channel would not move when a BST channel moved. ``[A] cable operator could theoretically eliminate most of

See 47 C.F.R. 76.922(b)(6)(ii). However, an operator will incur refund liability from May 15, 1994 through July 14, 1994 for any CPST rates charged above the FCC Form 393 maximum permitted rate.

Put simply, a system operator's initial permitted rate either was its rate in effect on September 30, 1992 reduced by a "competitive differential" (the "full reduction rate"), or was calculated in accordance with certain FCC formulas and worksheets without reference to rates in effect on September 30, 1992 (the "transition rate"). See 47 C.F.R. 76.922(b) (1997). Most systems, the Commission has said, employed the former rate.
