Initial rates and charges shall be those rates in force in the unincorporated areas of the county at the time of adoption of this chapter, as those rates and charges shall have been fixed by the County Board of Commissioners. Thereafter, the franchisee may request rate adjustments at any time by petition to the County Board of Commissioners; provided, that the subscriber rates and charges in the town shall be the same as those rates and charges in the unincorporated areas of the county. In no event shall rates be changed without approval of the County Board of Commissioners; except, that nothing in this provision shall prohibit the reduction or waiving of charges in conjunction with promotional campaigns for the purpose of attracting subscribers.
