(1) Length of license. Any license granted by the city pursuant to this chapter shall commence upon execution of the license agreement by the licensee and the city and shall be for a period specified by the license. All licenses shall be subject to periodic review by the city to evaluate whether the cable system's technology is meeting the community's needs and interests. Any license shall also provide that following such review, the city may require a licensee to make any changes necessary to reasonably upgrade the cable system's technological capabilities. The city may expressly waive such requirement in the event it determines that the cable system reasonably meets the city's technological needs and interests. In no event shall any license exceed a term of fifteen (15) years, subject to the conditions and restrictions as provided in this chapter. A license agreement may be renewed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and federal law. No privilege or exemption shall be inferred from the granting of any license unless it is specifically prescribed.
(2) No right of property. The granting of any license pursuant to this chapter shall be a privilege and shall not impart to the licensee any right of property in any city rights-of-way or other city property.
