To provide for technological, economic and regulatory changes in the state of the art of cable communications, to facilitate renewal procedures, to promote the maximum degree of flexibility in the cable system, and to achieve a continuing, advanced modern system, the grantor and grantee shall comply with the following system and services review provisions:
(A) The grantor and grantee shall hold a system and services review session on or about the third anniversary date of the franchise agreement. Subsequent system and services review sessions shall be scheduled by the grantor each three years thereafter. All such review sessions shall be open to the public, and notice shall be given.
(B) Sixty days prior to the scheduled system and services review session, the grantee shall submit a report to the grantor indicating the following:
(1) All cable system services which are being provided on an operational basis, excluding tests and demonstrations, to cities in the United States with populations over 10,000 which are not provided to the grantor; and
(2) A plan for the provision of such services, or a justification indicating why such services are not feasible for the franchise area.
(C) Topics for discussion and review at the system and services review sessions shall include, but shall not be limited to, the services provided, the rate structure, free or discounted services, the application of new technologies, system performance, programming, subscriber complaints, user complaints, rights of privacy, amendments to the franchise, undergrounding processes, developments in the law and regulatory constraints.
(D) Either the grantor or the grantee may select additional topics for discussion at any such review session.
(E) Not later than 60 days after the conclusion of each system and services review session, the grantor shall issue findings, including specifically a listing of cable services not then being provided to the grantor which are considered feasible. The grantor may direct the grantee to provide such services within a reasonable time, under reasonable rates and conditions. Failure to provide such directed services may be considered a breach of the franchise, subject to penalties as provided in this chapter.
