SUMMARY:

Cable television; use of rights-of-way. Provides that if a franchised cable television operator has been authorized to use the public rights-of-way in a locality and is obligated to pay a franchise fee to such locality, such cable television operator shall not be subject to any permit, occupancy, inspection or similar fee with respect to its use of such rights-of-way, by the locality or the Commonwealth Transportation Board. However, localities and the Board may charge certain fees to recover costs incurred for the issuance of a permit to perform work within the rights-of-way and for certain inspections. There are some technical amendments.
