A system and method for delivering a communication signal to a subscriber
without incurring right-of-way franchise fees associated with the signal.
A central office on a first side of a right-of-way is in communication
with a multiplexer on a second side of the right-of-way opposite the
first side. The central office transmits a signal (e.g., a telephony
signal) to the multiplexer such that the signal crosses the right-of-way.
A wireless receiver on the second side receives another signal (e.g., a
video signal) and transmits the other signal to the multiplexer. The
multiplexer combines the signal and the other signal into a combined
signal for routing to the subscriber (located on the second side).
Because the communication of the other signal occurs entirely on the
second side and does not access or cross into the right-of-way, the
addition of the other signal avoids the imposition of a right-of-way
franchise fee.
