(A) The grantee of any franchise granted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall, subject to the conditions and restrictions set out in this chapter, be authorized to construct or have constructed, operate, and maintain a cable television system, and to engage in the business of providing a cable television service in the area of the county so applied for in the franchise agreement.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any telephone, telegraph, or power company or any other public utility company or person to lease or otherwise make available to any other person, any poles, lines, facilities, equipment, or other property for use in connection with the operation of a cable television system or service, unless such other person holds a valid franchise granted pursuant to this chapter.
(C) The authority granted to a grantee pursuant to this chapter is not and shall not be deemed to be an exclusive right or permission. The county expressly reserves the right to grant identical non-exclusive franchises for a cable television system to other persons for the entire franchise area at any time. No such other franchise so granted shall interfere with the responsibilities of the other grantee.
