contained herein shall prohibit a franchisee from offering, by way
of illustration and not limitation, discounts to senior citizens or
economically disadvantaged groups; discounts to commercial and multiple-family
dwelling subscribers billed on a bulk basis; promotional discounts;
or reduced installation rates for subscribers who have multiple services.
Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to all
rates, whether or not they are otherwise subject to rate regulation,
except to the extent specifically prohibited by law.
