Section 541(a)(2)), or to use publicly or privately owned utility poles or conduits without a separate agreement with the owners. It also authorizes the licensee so to use, operate and provide similar facilities or properties rented, licensed or leased from other persons, firms or corporations, including but not limited to any public utility or other licensee licensed or permitted to do business in the Town; provided, however, that neither the licensee nor the third party shall be relieved of any regulation or obligations as to its use of such facilities in the streets.

3. It is nonexclusive and will not expressly or implicitly preclude the issuance of other licenses to operate cable systems within the Town.

4. It conveys no property right to the licensee or right to renewal other than as may be required by state or federal law.

5. It constitutes a contract between the licensee and the Council once it is approved by the Council and executed by both parties.

10. All notices and communications from a licensee to the Council pursuant to this chapter or a license agreement shall be sent to the Town Manager unless the licensee is otherwise directed.

11. Insofar as it is not inconsistent with or otherwise preempted by federal or state regulations, the license agreement shall grant the right and privilege to the licensee to provide noncable communications services. Insofar as it is not inconsistent with or otherwise preempted by federal or state regulations, the Council shall retain all authority to regulate noncable telecommunication services to the extent necessary to protect the public interest and to ensure compliance with all provisions of this chapter.
