§ 6-20. Extension policy.  


Latest version.
  • Once construction has been completed in the initial service area, the operator shall extend service in overhead service areas within six (6) months of a request to all areas where the average density is seven (7) subscribers per quarter mile of aerial cable or greater. In an area where the average density is less than seven (7) subscribers per quarter mile of cable, or is served by underground utilities, the system shall bear its pro rata share of the current aerial construction costs based on the actual number of potential subscribers per quarter mile divided by seven (7). The remaining construction costs will be borne on a pro rata basis by each actual cable television applicant committing to service within the pro rata extension area. In the case of new subdivisions, developers may elect to bear the remaining cost, and service will be made available to residents at normal rates. Mileage will be measured from the end of the nearest cable trunk.
