A certified competitive video service provider shall provide any library serving the public and any school system, college or university, located in a part of the certified competitive video service provider's franchise area where service is available, with one outlet for basic video service at no charge if such library, school system, college or university participates in educational or public access programming offered throughout the company's franchise area. The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority may exempt any provider from providing such service at no charge if it would have an adverse impact on the provider. No certified competitive video service provider shall be required to provide such free service if the library or school is receiving community antenna television service or video service from another provider.
