§ 18-36. Changes in cable technology.

(a)

The licensor and licensee shall meet once every three years or more frequently upon request of either to discuss changes in cable services, cable television laws, regulations, technology, competing services, the needs of the community and other factors impacting cable television. As a result of these discussions, the license may be modified by the town and the licensee to respond to the change in laws, regulations, technology, competing services, the needs of the community or other factors impacting cable television.

(b)

The purpose of the meeting and discussion is to use best efforts to reach mutually acceptable agreement for recommendation to the council for proposed council action within 90 days of a written request of either party for a meeting, on how to amend the license to relieve licensor or the licensee from any commercial impracticability which arises from the change in question. This provision shall not require that the license be amended, however it is intended to facilitate a process whereby the parties may reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
