§ 43-23. No exclusivity.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    A franchisee may not require a subscriber or a building owner or manager to enter into an exclusive contract as a condition of providing or continuing service. However, nothing herein prevents a franchisee from entering into an otherwise lawful, mutually desired exclusive arrangement with a building owner or manager of a multiple dwelling unit or commercial subscriber.

    (b)

    No franchisee shall enter into or cooperate with any agreement with any other utility, cable system, OVS or other entity which provides for the exclusive right to attach equipment to utility poles or use underground conduit. This provision is not intended, however, to interfere with any utility, cable system, OVS or other entity from obtaining reasonable compensation for the use of their facilities by other entities.
