Sec. 8-18. - Authority of county.

Nonexclusive licenses to construct, operate and maintain CATV systems, within all or any portion of the unincorporated area of the county may be granted by the board of supervisors to any persons who offer to furnish and provide such systems under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of this chapter.

No provision of this chapter shall be deemed or construed to require the granting of a license when, in the opinion of the board of supervisors, it is in the public interest to restrict the number of licensees or to refuse to grant any licenses for a proposed service area. Neither the granting of any non-exclusive license under the provisions of this chapter nor any of the provisions contained herein shall be construed to prevent the county from granting any identical, or similar, non- exclusive license to any person within all or any portion of the county.
