Subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the FCC, in the event that more than one franchise is issued within, or immediately adjacent to the franchise area, and if the operating systems are contiguous and technically compatible with the grantee, and have allocated access channels, the grantee shall provide suitable interconnection facilities for one access channel at the boundary of its service area. In no event, however, shall the grantee be required to interconnect with a cable system not having substantially the same access provisions in its franchise as contained in this franchise, unless the system agrees voluntarily to connect with the grantee, nor shall the grantee be required to interconnect at any point beyond any area which it has trunk or feeder service. In no event shall interconnection be required where the combined cable system include more than 50 trunk amplifiers in cascade or as the state-of-the-art then permits.
