13-47-13. Contracting for interconnecting channel service.
The board shall have the power and duty to contract with qualified companies to provide interconnecting channels between broadcasting towers unless it is first determined by the board that state-owned interconnecting channels can be constructed and operated that would furnish a comparable quality of service at a cost to the state that would be less than if such channels were provided by qualified companies.
