(A) Every grantee shall, to the extent required by the county, provide institutional networks as a condition of an initial grant, renewal, or transfer of a franchise. To the extent that a grantee is obligated to provide such support pursuant to its franchise agreement, such obligation will be implemented in a competitively neutral manner, on a per-subscriber basis with respect to any other franchises granted after the adoption of this chapter.
(B) Every grantee shall provide a channel or channels, bandwidth capacity, service, and funding for separate public, educational, and government (PEG) access channels, as specified in its franchise agreement. All such PEG access channels shall be available to all subscribers as part of basic cable service.
(C) Oversight and administration of the PEG access channels shall be set forth in the franchise agreement. The county may designate a community access corporation or similar entity to administer one or more of the access channels.
