Each holder of a state franchise, and each incumbent cable operator operating under a county franchise issued pursuant to this title, shall negotiate with each other in good faith to interconnect their networks for the purpose of providing PEG programming including, but not limited to, the exclusive county use channel as described in Division 4 of this title. Interconnection may be accomplished by any means authorized under California Public Utilities Code section 5870(h). Each holder of a state franchise and cable operator shall provide interconnection of PEG channels including the exclusive county use channel on reasonable terms and conditions and may not withhold the interconnection. If a holder of a state franchise and an incumbent cable operator cannot reach a mutually acceptable interconnection agreement, the county may require the incumbent cable operator to allow the holder of the state franchise to interconnect its network with the incumbent cable operator’s network at a technically feasible point on the state franchise holder’s network as identified by the holder. If no technically feasible point for interconnection is available, the holder of a state franchise shall make an interconnection available to the channel originator and shall provide the facilities necessary for the interconnection. The cost of any interconnection shall be borne by the state franchise holder requesting the interconnection unless otherwise agreed to by the state franchise holder and the incumbent cable operator. To the extent not inconsistent with California Public Utilities Code section 5870(h), the county may waive, modify, or defer this requirement of interconnection. (Ord. 2007-0047 (part), 2007.)
