               Any person who is providing a CATV service at the time of the adoption of this chapter
               shall not be deemed to be in violation of this chapter until such time as a franchise
               is issued pursuant to this chapter for the area in which the person without a franchise
               is in operation; provided, however, that within 30 days after April 4, 1984, any such
               operator must apply for a franchise for that area in which the person is providing
               CATV services. Upon failure to apply for a franchise within 30 days as provided for
               in this chapter, the operator shall be in violation of this chapter.
