Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-331a-2 - Number of community access channels required
(a)
Each franchise holder shall maintain at least one specially designated channel
to be used for community access. The franchise holder may use any such access
channel for any other purpose whenever that channel's time has not been
contracted for use for public access. Any conflict in time for use between
community access or other use shall be resolved in favor of community access.
The franchise holder shall keep a record, available for public inspection, of
the requests for and use of access channel time. Such records must be retained
for not less than two years.
(b)
When the activated access channel capacity is in use for community access
purposes during 80 percent of any consecutive five hour period Monday-Friday,
for six consecutive weeks, the franchise holder shall, within six months,
activate an additional channel for access use, provided, however, that this
requirement shall not necessitate the rebuilding of a system or elimination of
any existing services, and further provided that in no case shall the number of
mandated access channels exceed ten per cent of the total channel capacity of
the system.
