§ 512. Assistance to unserved areas
(a) The legislative body of a municipality unserved by a cable television system, and
that desires such service, may request the assistance of the Department of Public
Service. Upon receipt of any request from a municipality in an unserved area, the
Department shall analyze and define the service territory, taking particular account
of the type of service that may be requested by the municipality, and the service
currently provided by companies in contiguous areas. The Department shall prepare
a request for proposals to provide such service and submit the request to all companies
that the Department determines would likely serve the areas, and shall advertise in
the local trade and press.
(b) Upon receipt of any responses to serve the municipality, the Department shall submit
them together with any comment thereon to the municipality, and invite the responding
companies to apply for a certificate of public good under this chapter. (Added 1987, No. 271 (Adj. Sess.), § 12, eff. June 21, 1988.)
