PEG Interconnection Clause Samples

PEG Interconnection. 6.2.1. The Franchisee shall not interfere with the ability of any other cable operator holding a franchise issued by the County, or any other provider of multichannel video programming designated by the County (each a "Competing Operator") to obtain the content of any of the programming on the PEG Channels, nor shall the Franchisee object to the transmission of the PEG Access Channel signals by any Competing Operator. The Franchisee shall cooperate with the County and any Competing Operator with respect to the installation of any compatible equipment needed to effect any interconnection between facilities owned by the County and the facilities of such Competing Operator (the "Interconnection Equipment"), for the purpose of obtaining access to the PEG Access Channel signals and transporting such signals to the Competing Operator's subscribers by means of its own facilities. Franchisee shall cooperate with the County and the Competing Operators to detennine the cause of any interruption or degradation of the signal output by the Interconnection Equipment, and the County may request Franchisee's assistance, at the County's expense, in troubleshooting any Interconnection Equipment owned by the County. 6.2.2. Within two hundred and seventy (270) days of the Effective Date, the Franchisee shall provide and maintain at its sole expense the transport network, the necessary encoding and decoding equipment, and the support necessary to provide for the transmission of PEG Access Channel video signals that meet FCC standards for HD picture quality with a resolution up to I 080i as such standards currently exist or may be amended, from each of the locations listed in Exhibit D (the "PEG Origination Points"), for the purposes of transmitting the PEG Access Channels to the Cable System headend. The Franchisee will simulcast the HD and SD channel content on corresponding channels (e.g., current SD channel 40, HD channel 2140) for a period of approximately forty-five (45) days, and then disconnect the SD channel from the System. There shall be a demarcation point at each PEG Origination Point at which the parties agree that responsibility for the signal quality and transmission and the operation and maintenance of equipment transfers from the County to the Franchisee. The County or the respective PEG Production Entity shall be solely responsible for operating its switching equipment and for the picture and audio quality of all PEG Access Channel programming up to the demar...

PEG Interconnection. (a) Grantee shall not be required to Interconnect with any other cable system not owned and operated by Grantee or an affiliate of Grantee but will not restrict the other cable system from connecting to an MTA designated point of origin at which PEG programming can be received. The other cable system shall bear the reasonable, actual cost of Interconnection. (b) Grantee shall Interconnect the cable system with any cable system in the City of Novato and adjacent unincorporated county areas that is owned or operated by Grantee or an affiliate of Grantee on the Effective Date, for the purpose of permitting the transmission of PEG Access programming signals between the systems, and the carriage of such signals on the PEG Access channels. (c) After notification to, and detailed discussion with, the Grantor on the problems encountered, Grantee may terminate an Interconnection for any period where an interconnecting system is delivering signals in a manner that endangers the technical operation of Grantee's cable system. (d) Nothing in this subsection alters Grantee's channel obligations for PEG Access programming delivered to subscribers on the System. Unless the Grantor directs otherwise, or an affected jurisdiction objects, any interconnection shall allow PEG Access channels to operate without disruption or delay across and within the Franchise Service Area . (e) It is Grantee’s responsibility to ensure that the signals it provides to the Interconnect meet FCC technical standards, and that the quality of the signals it provides has suffered no material degradation, when compared to the quality of the signals as received from the Designated Access Providers. It is not the Grantee’s responsibility to ensure that the signals provided to the Interconnect by another interconnecting system meet industry standards.

PEG Interconnection. 6.1.3.1. The County shall work with the Franchisee and any existing cable operator(s) to designate a reasonable and mutually acceptable site for the PEG interconnection (the “PEG Interconnection Site”). Franchisee shall use reasonable efforts to interconnect its Cable System with the existing cable operator(s). Promptly after the Board grants the Franchise, the Franchisee shall initiate interconnection negotiations with the existing cable operator(s). Interconnection may be accomplished by direct cable, microwave link, satellite or other reasonable method of connection. Franchisee shall negotiate in good faith with existing cable operator(s) and agree upon reasonable, mutually convenient, cost-effective, and technically viable interconnection points, methods, terms and conditions. Such interconnection shall preserve the quality of the PEG signals such that the Carrier to Noise Ratio (C/N Ratio) for the PEG channel feeds at the point of interconnection shall be in the range of 45.8 dB to 49.0 dB and the minimum C/N Ratio at the end user shall be equal to or greater than 48.0 dB the majority of the time and in all cases, shall be no less than 46.0 dB. The Franchisee and the existing cable operator(s) shall negotiate the precise terms and conditions of an interconnection agreement. 6.1.3.2. If any existing cable operator(s) refuses to interconnect, requires unreasonable costs and ongoing expenses to interconnect, or otherwise obstructs interconnection, the County shall use its best efforts to require any such cable operator(s) both to cooperate with the Franchisee and to agree to reasonable terms of interconnection. In the event Franchisee and the cable operator(s) are still unable to reach agreement on terms for an interconnection agreement, the County shall provide for interconnection to the system of the existing cable operator(s) at a County facility mutually agreed upon by the County and Franchisee, and the Franchisee shall bear the costs associated with interconnection at such a PEG Interconnection Site. 6.1.3.3. If an existing cable operator(s) will not agree to reasonable terms and conditions of interconnection in accordance with subsection 6.1.3.1 and if the County is unable to provide for a point of interconnection as in subsection 6.1.3.2, the Franchisee will be under no obligation to carry PEG programming originating on the cable system of the existing cable operator(s) or to interconnect the Cable System.
