(Ord. No. NS-906, § 1, 6-24-09)

Each state franchise holder, and each incumbent cable operator shall negotiate in good faith to interconnect their networks for the purpose of providing PEG programming. Interconnection may be accomplished by any means authorized under Public Utilities Code Section 5870(h). Each state franchise holder and incumbent cable operator shall provide interconnection of PEG channels on reasonable terms and conditions and may not withhold the interconnection. If a state franchise holder and an incumbent cable operator cannot reach a mutually acceptable interconnection agreement, the County may require the incumbent cable operator to allow the state franchise holder 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 state franchise holder. If no technically feasible point for interconnection is available, each state franchise holder shall make an interconnection available to each channel originator providing PEG programming to an incumbent cable operator, 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.
