               Every grantee shall, to the extent required by the franchise agreement, provide institutional
               networks as a condition of an initial grant or renewal, or transfer of a franchise.
               To the extent that a grantee is obligated to provide such support pursuant to its
               franchise agreement, such obligation will be implemented in a competitively neutral
               manner, on a per subscriber basis with respect to any other franchises granted after
               the adoption of this chapter. Costs associated with construction and operation of
               an I-Net shall not be a franchise fee unless otherwise specified in the franchise
               agreement.

               in its franchise agreement. Such PEG access channel(s) shall be available to all subscribers
               as part of basic cable service, unless mutually agreed upon by the county and the
               grantee or as per state or federal law.
