8-1A-5: EVERY PROVIDER SHALL OBTAIN FRANCHISE:
Except to the extent preempted by Federal or State law, every provider shall obtain a telecommunications franchise prior to constructing, operating, leasing, or subleasing a wireless communication system or providing wireless service using the right-of-way. The fact that particular telecommunications systems may be used for multiple purposes does not preclude the need to obtain a franchise for the other purposes. By way of illustration and not limitation, a cable operator of a cable system must obtain a cable franchise, and, should it intend to provide wireless services over the same system, must also obtain a wireless franchise. (Ord. 77-2018, 8-28-2018)
