(A) Recognizing the inherent technological differences between various types of MCS providers, and taking into account a number of financial, operational, and maintenance considerations, the Council/franchising authority exempts certain MCS providers from complying with the provisions contained in this chapter.
(B) MCS providers who are exempted from complying with the provisions of this chapter are as follows:
(1) An MCS provider who is exempted from this chapter as a result of an applicable FCC ruling; or
(2) An MCS provider who is exempted from this chapter as a result of an applicable judicial ruling.
(C) It is expressly understood that an exempted MCS provider remains exempted only as long as it meets one or more of the specifications of this particular section.
(D) It also is expressly noted that the extent of the exemption for a qualified MCS provider is only for this chapter. Consequently, such an exempted MCS provider is expected to abide by and comply with any other applicable city, state, or federal laws and regulations, including any applicable federal, or state consumer protection or customer service laws and regulations.
