(A) The grantee shall offer subscribers a home security system including fire detection and medical alert options. The security system must be designed to operate so that the first signal is sent to an intermediary who will verify that the alert is a true emergency prior to notifying the appropriate emergency service.
(B) The grantee will provide at system activation a full-channel videotext information retrieval service, equipment for subscribers to send data messages to the system and for interactive education.
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the requirement to immediately provide the above- described interactive services is temporarily deferred subject to the following:
(1) Grantee shall, as part of the annual report, report in writing the current technical feasibility and financial reasonableness of the interactive services set forth in the Cable Communications Code, but not currently made available to subscribers; and
(2) Grantee shall, in the event grantee or any parent, subsidiary, related corporation, affiliated corporation, partner or joint venture of grantee, its parent or any of its subsidiaries makes available any interactive service to subscribers of a system in Minnesota, report in writing within 60 days of the provision of such service the current technical feasibility and financial reasonableness of the interactive services set forth in the Cable Communications Code but not currently made available to subscribers; and
(3) Grantee shall, within 60 days of achieving a 45% basic service, as defined herein, penetration, report in writing, the current technical feasibility and financial reasonableness of the interactive services set forth in the Cable Communications Code but not currently made available to subscribers.
(D) At any review session described in subdivisions (C)(1), (2) or (3) above, grantee shall bear the burden of establishing, to the satisfaction of city, that the provision of interactive services is not technically feasible or financially reasonable. Should grantee fail to establish, to the sole satisfaction of the city at any such review session, that the provision of interactive services is not technically feasible or financially reasonable, the city may request grantee to provide such services within 60 days and grantee shall comply with any such request. The 60 days may be extended by the city upon a reasonable showing of need by grantee.
(E) If this section or any of its subsections are deemed unenforceable under federal or state law or the implementation of its requirements are deemed illegal or unenforceable under federal or state law, then, to that extent, this section will be of no effect and the pertinent provisions of the Cable Communications Code as it existed immediately prior to the enactment of this chapter is automatically reconstituted and shall be of full force and effect.
