(a) The city may issue a license, easement or other permit to a person other than a grantee to permit that person to traverse any portion of a grantee’s service area within the city in order to provide service outside, but not within the city. The license or easement, absent a grant of a franchise in accordance with this chapter, shall not authorize nor permit the person to provide cable service of any type to any home or place of business within the city nor render any other service within the city.
(b) To the extent allowed by law, the city shall retain the authority to regulate and receive compensation for non-cable cable services. If a grantee is allowed by law and chooses to provide non-cable cable services, a grantee and the city will negotiate the terms and fees in accordance with applicable law.
