               Because of the regulatory, technical, financial, marketing and legal uncertainties
               associated with the cable communications as an industry, any grantee under this division
               and the county shall conduct review sessions under the provisions of this section
               in order to provide for a maximum degree of flexibility in the expansion and improvement
               of the delivery of service by a grantee of a franchise under this division and to
               help achieve a continued advancement and modernization of the cable television system
               for the county.

               Special review sessions may be held at any time during the term of the franchise,

               Federal Communications Commission, with all of whose rules a grantee will comply.
