At the request of the city, STI shall interconnect its cable system with adjacent
cable systems operating within the city pursuant to a city franchise as necessary
to allow subscribers throughout the city to view public, educational, and government
access programming, and, to the extent required by law, with other providers of video
programming (i) through independent interconnection or (ii) through connection to
a central facility designated by the city. Said interconnection shall be completed
and activated no later than three months after the date of receipt of notice by the
city unless the city has extended the deadline or waived this obligation. The cost
of such Interconnection shall be equitably distributed among STI and the franchisees
that interconnect their systems based on the benefits received by each affected franchisee
and its subscribers. If STI and the franchisees are unable to agree on the distribution
of expenses for interconnection, STI shall notify the city and the city shall then
determine the amount of expense to be borne by each franchisee. The franchisees shall
pay to the city equally the costs incurred by the city in making such a determination,
and such payments shall not be deducted from taxes or franchise fees otherwise paid
by the franchisees.
