Competitive Neutrality. The Parties understand and agree that, with respect to providers of telecommunications services, the City is to manage and administer “the public Rights- of-Way or to require fair and reasonable compensation, on a competitively neutral and non- discriminatory basis, for the use of public Rights-of-Way on a non-discriminatory basis,” all as provided in 47 U.S.C. § 253(c). To this end, in order to maintain a relatively level playing field among all similarly situated providers of telecommunications services, upon the grant or renewal of another franchise in the Rights-of-Way where material terms or conditions of this Franchise conflict with a change in the City Code or right-of-way ordinances, or the provisions of this Franchise provide a material competitive advantage over another similarly situated telecommunications provider (such that it negatively and materially impacts the City’s ability to effectively manage and administer the Rights-of-Way), then the City may elect to renegotiate with Franchisee in good faith to modify the terms and provisions of this Franchise to obtain material terms and conditions that, as a whole, are competitively neutral among similarly situated providers of telecommunications services.
Competitive Neutrality. This Chapter applies to all enterprises, public or private.

In entering into this contract franchise ordinance, the City specifically recognizes it must ensure all other telecommunications providers operating in the City are subject to a substantially similar contract franchise ordinance within a timely manner not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from either the time this contract franchise ordinance becomes effective, or from the date a telecommunications provider begins to offer telecommunications service in the City. It is the City's sole responsibility to identify the telecommunications providers operating in City, and utilize all available legal means, if necessary, to ensure all such telecommunications providers are subject to a substantially similar contract franchise ordinance.
