§ 12-91. Subscriber charges for extensions of the cable system.  


Latest version.
  • No subscriber shall be refused service arbitrarily. However, if an area does not meet the density requirements of subsection 12-90, the grantee shall only be required to extend the cable system to a subscriber in that area if the subscriber is willing to share the capital costs of extending the cable system. Specifically, the grantee shall contribute a capital amount equal to the construction cost per mile, multiplied by a fraction whose numerator equals the actual number of residences per 1,320 cable-bearing strand feet from the grantee's trunk or distribution cable, and whose denominator equals ten. Subscribers who request service hereunder shall bear the remaining cost to extend the cable system on a pro rata basis. The grantee may require that payment of the capital contribution in aid of construction borne by such potential subscribers be paid in advance. Subscribers shall also be responsible for any standard/non-standard installation charges to extend the cable system from the tap to the residence.
