20-1-115. GENERAL CAPABILITY.
(1) Each Cable Television System shall, at minimum:
a. Relay to subscriber terminals those broadcast signals required by the FCC;
b. Distribute in color all television signals which it receives in color;
c. Make available upon request by any subscribers receiving channels showing premium services and pay per view events, at the expense of the subscriber, a lockout device which prevents the unauthorized viewing of such channels.
d. All new system extensions shall have a minimum activated capacity of four hundred fifty (450) megahertz.
(2) Because Cable System technology is rapidly changing, it is difficult for the City to set a standard by which the Grantee will upgrade and maintain the Cable Television System in the City. Therefore, insofar as it is technically and economically feasible, Grantee shall upgrade and maintain the System quality equal to or better than the best system that the Grantee provides to any community in Salt Lake County where it has a Franchise.
a. If the Grantee determines that such an upgrade is not technically or economically feasible, it shall submit to the City full documentation, in detail, setting forth how and why it made such a determination. Such a determination shall use reasonable criteria based on industry standards. At such point in time an upgrade, which was originally found not to be technically or economically feasible, becomes feasible, it shall be implemented as provided herein.
b. If applicable, Grantee and City shall negotiate a reasonable time table for implementation of any changes in technology as necessitated by this provision.
c. Implementation of technology which is deemed to be experimental by industry standards can be implemented only at the sole discretion of Grantee.
