Franchisee shall make cable service available to all residential dwelling units and may make cable service available to businesses within the service area in conformance with §
A301-50, and franchisee shall not discriminate between or among any individuals in the availability of cable service. In the areas in which franchisee shall provide cable service, franchisee shall be required to connect, at franchisee's expense, all residential dwelling units that are within 200 feet of trunk or feeder lines not otherwise already served by franchisee's FTTP network. Franchisee shall be allowed to recover, from a subscriber that requests such connection, no more than the actual costs incurred for residential dwelling unit connections that exceed 200 feet and actual costs incurred to connect any nonresidential dwelling unit subscriber.
Subject to §
A301-50, franchisee shall provide, without charge within the service area, one service outlet activated for basic service to the following:
A. Each current municipal building, fire station, and
public library as may be designated by LFA in Exhibit A; provided, however, that if it is necessary to extend franchisee's
trunk or feeder lines more than 200 feet solely to provide service
to any such public building, LFA shall have the option either of paying
franchisee's direct costs for such extension in excess of 200 feet,
or of releasing franchisee from the obligation to provide service
to such public building. Furthermore, franchisee shall be permitted
to recover, from any public building owner entitled to free service,
the direct cost of installing, when requested to do so, more than
one outlet, or concealed inside wiring, or a service outlet requiring
more than 200 feet of drop cable; provided, however, that franchisee
shall not charge for the provision of basic service to the additional
service outlets once installed.
B. Each public K through 12 school, and each nonpublic
K through 12 school that (a) receives funding pursuant to Title I
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. § 6301
et seq. and (b) is considered a nonpublic, nonlicensed school under
the Pennsylvania Private Academic Schools Act, 24 P.S. § § 6702
through 6721, located in the Township, as may be designated by LFA
in Exhibit A; provided, however, that franchisee shall not be obligated
to provide any service outlets activated for basic service to home
schools; also provided, however, that if it is necessary to extend
franchisee's trunk or feeder lines more than 200 feet solely to provide
service to any such school building, LFA shall have the option either
of paying franchisee's direct costs for such extension in excess of
200 feet, or of releasing franchisee from the obligation to provide
service to such school building. Furthermore, franchisee shall be
permitted to recover, from any school building owner entitled to free
service, the direct cost of installing, when requested to do so, more
than one outlet, or concealed inside wiring, or a service outlet requiring
more than 200 feet of drop cable; provided, however, that franchisee
shall not charge for the provision of basic service to the additional
service outlets once installed.
C. In addition to the locations designated in Exhibit A, franchisee shall provide, without charge, within the Township, up to one service outlet activated for basic service to one additional new municipal building per year at a location as mutually agreed upon by the parties subject to all conditions set forth in this §
A301-52.
D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, franchisee shall not
be required to provide cable service to any building set forth in
