PEG Interconnection. 6.1.3.1. The County shall work with the Franchisee and any existing cable operator(s) to designate a reasonable and mutually acceptable site for the PEG interconnection (the “PEG Interconnection Site”). Franchisee shall use reasonable efforts to interconnect its Cable System with the existing cable operator(s). Promptly after the Board grants the Franchise, the Franchisee shall initiate interconnection negotiations with the existing cable operator(s). Interconnection may be accomplished by direct cable, microwave link, satellite or other reasonable method of connection. Franchisee shall negotiate in good faith with existing cable operator(s) and agree upon reasonable, mutually convenient, cost-effective, and technically viable interconnection points, methods, terms and conditions. Such interconnection shall preserve the quality of the PEG signals such that the Carrier to Noise Ratio (C/N Ratio) for the PEG channel feeds at the point of interconnection shall be in the range of 45.8 dB to 49.0 dB and the minimum C/N Ratio at the end user shall be equal to or greater than 48.0 dB the majority of the time and in all cases, shall be no less than 46.0 dB. The Franchisee and the existing cable operator(s) shall negotiate the precise terms and conditions of an interconnection agreement.
PEG Interconnection. In Order to provide Public, Educational and Government Access Programming to Subscribers, Franchisee shall utilize a method of bringing PEG Access programming content onto the System that meets the requirements of this Section 5.5, or any other method as may be agreed between the City and Franchisee in the future. Franchisee shall cablecast on the System, on a live basis, concurrent with delivery, and as delivered from the PEG Channel origination location, in SD or HD as provided above, all live, pre-recorded, and character-generated PEG programming content originated at the operator’s origination point; provided, however, as follows: (i) not more than a total of six (6) times during the Term of this Agreement, but not more than two (2) occurrences in the first twelve (12) months of this Agreement, and not more than two (2) occurrences in any subsequent twelve (12) month period, the City may designate an alternate location as a PEG Channel origination location within the boundaries of the City and Franchisee shall, within one hundred and twenty (120) days following receipt of written notice from the City identifying the new location, connect the System to that location and cablecast programming content originated at the location, provided however if the City designates an alternate PEG Channel origination location that is not along the Franchisee's activated cable route, then Franchisee shall have one hundred and eighty (180) days to connect the location to the System. Franchisee shall have no obligation to construct a connection to a new location where the actual costs of construction exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) unless the City or operator of the access channel agrees to pay the actual costs beyond ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
PEG Interconnection. 6.2.1. The Franchisee shall not interfere with the ability of any other cable operator holding a franchise issued by the County, or any other provider of multichannel video programming designated by the County (each a "Competing Operator") to obtain the content of any of the programming on the PEG Channels, nor shall the Franchisee object to the transmission of the PEG Access Channel signals by any Competing Operator. The Franchisee shall cooperate with the County and any Competing Operator with respect to the installation of any compatible equipment needed to effect any interconnection between facilities owned by the County and the facilities of such Competing Operator (the "Interconnection Equipment"), for the purpose of obtaining access to the PEG Access Channel signals and transporting such signals to the Competing Operator's subscribers by means of its own facilities. Franchisee shall cooperate with the County and the Competing Operators to detennine the cause of any interruption or degradation of the signal output by the Interconnection Equipment, and the County may request Franchisee's assistance, at the County's expense, in troubleshooting any Interconnection Equipment owned by the County.
PEG Interconnection. 5.1.7.1. Shentel shall design its Cable System so that it is capable of interconnecting with other like networks (including but not limited to wireless systems) at suitable locations as determined by Shentel. Interconnection capabilities shall be provided for the exchange of all PEG signals. Such interconnection shall preserve the quality of the PEG signals so that there is no significant degradation between the signals as received by Shentel and the signals as transmitted to the interconnecting system. Shentel shall not interfere with the ability of any other cable operator holding a franchise issued by the County (“Competing Operator”) to obtain the content of any of the programming on the PEG Channels, nor shall Shentel object to the transmission of the PEG Access Channel signals by any Competing Operator.
PEG Interconnection. (a) Grantee shall not be required to Interconnect with any other cable system not owned and operated by Grantee or an affiliate of Grantee but will not restrict the other cable system from connecting to an MTA designated point of origin at which PEG programming can be received. The other cable system shall bear the reasonable, actual cost of Interconnection.
