Common use of Access Interconnections Clause in Contracts

Access Interconnections. (A) Grantee shall continue and maintain all Interconnections of Access Channels in effect on the effective date of this Franchise, and as otherwise provided herein, unless otherwise authorized or modified by the Jurisdictions. Grantee shall provide Activated Interconnection of the Headend to Designated Access Providers for shared PEG Access Programming on Access Channels. The Interconnections shall provide the bi-directional capability to transmit PEG Access Programming among Designated Access Providers and other PEG Access Programming carried by contiguous cable systems in Washington County and Clackamas County, Oregon, and ▇▇▇▇▇ County, Washington. Grantee shall provide Activated Capacity sufficient to enable Signal transmission to and from all Interconnection points on the Cable System. (B) Upon request by the Jurisdictions, and based on a demonstrated need, Grantee shall work in good faith with the Jurisdictions to interconnect with other cable operators at a designated meet point and not at Grantee’s headend or hubs in order to hand off PEG Access Channel Signals for the purposes of sharing PEG Programming throughout the Franchise Area. Such interconnection shall preserve the technical quality of the PEG Access Channels without degradation to Grantee’s demarcation at the designated meet point of the Interconnect. The Jurisdictions shall not require such interconnection without the prior consent of Grantee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Grantee shall not be obligated to interconnect with any cable system providing competitive Cable Services within the Franchise Area, except that Grantee shall use reasonable efforts to agree with a competitive Cable Services provider on reasonable terms, conditions and costs of a viable interconnection of the PEG Access Channel Signals. Any Incremental, direct Capital costs incurred by Grantee to interconnect shall be paid by the Jurisdictions from the PEG/I-Net Fee. (C) The Jurisdictions shall designate the Access provider with the right to control and schedule the operation of all Interconnects of Access Channels with other systems. (D) Grantee shall take all necessary technical steps to ensure that technically acceptable signal quality and routing systems are continuously provided for all Access Interconnections. Signal quality and routing systems acceptability will be based on meeting applicable IEEE, NAB, FCC or other industry standards.

Grantee shall provide Activated Capacity sufficient to enable Signal transmission to and from all Interconnection points on the Cable System. Should Grantee begin to charge for the maintenance costs associated with the Access Channel Interconnections provided pursuant to this section, it will give Jurisdictions one hundred twenty (120) days’ prior written notice of its intent to commence such charges; provided however that (1) Grantee will disclose in such written notice the proposed amount of the charges and supporting information in sufficient detail for the Jurisdictions to evaluate the how the charges were calculated; (2) The proposed charges shall be consistent with then-applicable law, currently “Marginal Cost.” Grantor may elect to take the charges as an offset against Franchise Fees. Nothing in this Section requires the Grantor to accept ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s calculation of Marginal Cost. (B) Upon request by the Jurisdictions, and based on a demonstrated need, Grantee shall work in good faith with the Jurisdictions to interconnect with other cable operators at a designated meet point and not at Grantee’s headend or hubs in order to hand off PEG Access Channel Signals for the purposes of sharing PEG Programming throughout the Franchise Area.
