1. A local government receiving the
benefit of a PEG access channel, or its designee, is responsible for producing
the programming of that channel and for providing that programming to the
holder of a certificate. The holder is responsible only for the transmission of
the programming to subscribers.
2. A local government, or its designee,
shall provide to the holder all programming for a PEG access channel in a
manner or form that is:
(a) Capable of being accepted and transmitted by
the holder over its video service network without alteration or change in the
content or transmission signal; and
(b) Compatible with the technology or protocol
utilized by the holder to deliver its video service.
3. A local
government shall:
(a) Make the programming for each PEG access
channel available in a nondiscriminatory manner to all holders or incumbent
cable operators providing video service in the service area of the local
government.
(b) Provide all facilities necessary for
connectivity to a single PEG access channel distribution point in the service
area of the local government, except that the first 200 feet extending from the
video service network for the connectivity is the responsibility of the holder.
4. Where necessary and technically
feasible, holders or incumbent cable operators shall use reasonable efforts to
interconnect their video service networks for the purpose of exchanging PEG
access channel programming on mutually acceptable rates, terms and conditions.
Interconnection may be accomplished by direct cable microwave link, satellite
or other reasonable methods of connection. Holders and incumbent cable
operators shall negotiate interconnection in good faith. The person requesting
interconnection is responsible for any costs, including, without limitation, signal
transmission from the origination point to the point of interconnection.
