Sec. 76.1511 Fees.
An open video system operator may be subject to the payment of fees on the
gross revenues of the operator for the provision of cable service imposed by
a local franchising authority or other governmental entity, in lieu of the
franchise fees permitted under Section 622 of the Communications Act. Local
governments shall have the authority to assess and receive the gross revenue
fee. Gross revenues under this paragraph means all gross revenues received
by an open video system operator or its affiliates, including all revenues
received from subscribers and all carriage revenues received from
unaffiliated video programming providers. In addition gross revenues under
this paragraph includes any advertising revenues received by an open video
system operator or its affiliates in connection with the provision of video
programming, where such revenues are included in the calculation of the
incumbent cable operator's cable franchise fee. Gross revenues does not
include revenues collected by unaffiliated video programming providers, such
as subscriber or advertising revenues. Any gross revenues fee that the open
video system operator or its affiliate collects from subscribers or video
programming providers shall be excluded from gross revenues. An operator of
an open video system or any programming provider may designate that portion
of a subscriber's bill attributable to the fee as a separate item on the
bill. An operator of an open video system may recover the gross revenue fee
from programming providers on a proportional basis as an element of the
carriage rate.
