The grantor may require within a franchise awarded hereunder that all dwelling units within a franchise area shall be connected physically to a telecommunications system by a grantee by means of drop cables terminating at each dwelling unit, whether or not the dwelling unit’s occupants desire to utilize the telecommunications services provided by a grantee, provided that no such universal connector shall be made in residential homes without the written permission of the property owner. The cost and charges shall be determined by the grantor at the time such connection is required. A grantee shall be entitled to recover the incremental cost of providing a universal connection.
