Sec. 76.984 Geographically uniform rate structure.
(a) The rates charged by cable operators for basic service, cable
programming service, and associated equipment and installation shall be
provided pursuant to a rate structure that is uniform throughout each
franchise area in which cable service is provided.
(b) This section does not prohibit the establishment by cable operators of
reasonable categories of service and customers with separate rates and terms
and conditions of service, within a franchise area.
(c) This section does not apply to:
(1) A cable operator with respect to the provision of cable service over its
cable system in any geographic area in which the video programming services
offered by the operator in that area are subject to effective competition,
or
(2) Any video programming offered on a per channel or per program basis.
(3) Bulk discounts to multiple dwelling units shall not be subject to this
section, except that a cable operator of a cable system that is not subject
to effective competition may not charge predatory prices to a multiple
dwelling unit. Upon a prima facie showing by a complainant that there are
reasonable grounds to believe that the discounted price is predatory, the
cable system shall have the burden of showing that its discounted price is
not predatory.
