(b) Except as otherwise stated in this subchapter, this subchapter shall not be interpreted to prevent a video service provider, a political subdivision, or a franchising entity from entering into a negotiated franchise agreement with a political subdivision or seeking clarification of its rights and obligations under federal or state law or to exercise a right or authority under federal or state law. (c) This subchapter does not limit, abrogate, or supersede Title 23, Chapter 17, of this Code regarding telecommunications service in the state, and does not require a telephone corporation to get a certificate of franchise authority or local authorization under this subchapter to permit the telephone corporation to construct, upgrade, operate, or maintain its telecommunications system to provide telecommunications service. (d) The regulation of a person holding a certificate of franchise authority issued under this subchapter shall be exclusive to the Secretary of State as provided under this subchapter. (e) A person holding a certificate of franchise, with respect to any political subdivision identified by the video service provider in its application or modifications filed under § 23-19-203, shall not be required to obtain any authorization, permit, franchise, or license from, or pay another fee or franchise tax to, or post bond in any political subdivision of this state to engage in the business or perform any service authorized under this subchapter.

47 U.S.C. § 521 — Purposes

The purposes of this subchapter are to— (1) establish a national policy concerning cable communications; (2) establish franchise procedures and standards which encourage the growth and development of cable systems and which assure that cable systems are responsive to the needs and interests of the local community; (3) establish guidelines for the exercise of Federal, State, and local authority with respect to the regulation of cable systems; (4) assure that cable communications provide and are encouraged to provide the widest possible diversity of information sources and services to the public; (5) establish an orderly process for franchise renewal which protects cable operators against unfair denials of renewal where the operator’s past performance and proposal for future performance meet the standards established by this subchapter; and (6) promote competition in cable communications and minimize unnecessary regulation that would impose an undue economic burden on cable systems.
