(A) The company will provide basic service to its subscribers at reasonable rates for services rendered. REASONABLE RATES shall mean such rates as shall permit the company to render efficient service, derive a reasonable profit from its operation, provide sufficient capital to meet technical advances in the cable television industry, and provide fair rates to its subscribers. No such rate, term or condition relating thereto shall make or grant any preference or advantage to any person or subject any person to any prejudice or disadvantage; provided, however, that, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the establishment of different classes of customers (e.g., private and commercial) or a graduated scale of charges or a classified rate schedule to which any customer, within such classification, shall be entitled.
(B) Subject to FCC regulations, and approval, where necessary, the company may install and attach encoder-decoder devices or similar devices to subscribers’ terminals so that subscribers will be able to receive special CATV network, syndicated or other than basic CATV system-provided services and programming for which programming or services a separate charge may be made.
