One of our cities is interested in using the I-Net to distribute enhanced <br /> data for We to other institutions moth in and outside of the boundaries of the system serving the North <br /> Suburban Cable Commission cities, to convey data between Ramsey County and other municipalities <br /> by common agreement, and to provide Internet access and other communication opportunities within <br /> our system. The city officials want to know if this would be permitted under the franchise. <br /> RopMe: The Franchise, at Section 7(c)provides that "'Use of the Institutional Network by <br /> a designated institution is limited to its own ilse and no in 'tuti n nia sell Institutional Network <br /> capacity or usage to any third per,bout the express written consent of the xrantee."'(Emphasis <br /> added.) This is consistent with the Proposal submitted by our company to the municipalities. <br /> Acres , the Franchise does not permit the sale of"enhanced data''by one city to other institutions <br /> through the use of the Institutional Network. <br /> On the other hand,transportation of data between various institutions 'thin the franchise arm <br /> or utilizing the Institutional Network to provide Internet access or other comrnunicatri opportunities <br /> to institutions on the Institutional Network are contemplated and appropriate uses. If, in this regard, an <br /> institution incurs costs associated with facilitating soh communication, the company would not object <br /> to other institutions on the Institutional Network iiiznbursing such institution for those costs. <br /> 1 yr - x <br /> IIIIY"' <br />
