§ 11-25 — Extension of network

§ 11-25. - Extension of network.

(a) After a grantee has substantially completed the construction of its cable system as defined in Section 11-1, it shall continue to extend its cable system so as to provide service to all parts of the franchise territory having a density of at least 40 single-family residential units per cable mile. (b) If a grantee is also operating in another municipality abutting the franchise territory located within the City, and if the density requirements set forth in Subsection (a) above can be met by counting single-family resident units located in both the City franchise territory and in the abutting municipality, then upon request of the City Manager, the grantee will use its best efforts, where economically and technologically feasible, to extend the cable system and service from the abutting municipality into the City franchise territory. (c) If a grantee extends the cable system and service into the City franchise territory from an abutting municipality under Subsection (b) of this section, and if the grantee is technically unable to provide the municipality-specific access channel programming, as required by Section 11-37, the grantee shall be relieved of the obligations of Section 11-37 for the residential units provided service by such extension until such time as the density requirement of Subsection (a) above is met solely by single-family residential units located within the City franchise territory and service is no longer being provided from the abutting municipality. The franchise fees payable by the grantee shall be paid to the municipality in which the subscribers reside.
