(a) Upon written request of the city, a grantee will assist the city in the evaluation of an institutional network, as authorized and as defined in the Cable Act that would interconnect specific public buildings for the transmission and receipt of communications between specific points in the discrete network within the service area at the city’s sole expense. The construction and use of any institutional network provided by a grantee to serve public buildings in the city shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a franchise agreement, which is mutually acceptable to a grantee and the city.
(b) Nothing in this chapter or in a franchise shall be deemed as authority to regulate a grantee as a common carrier within the meaning of applicable state or federal law.
