The compensation for workers engaged in the initial construction of cable television
systems and in the installation, maintenance, repair, extension, reconstruction and
subsequent construction of such systems shall in each instance be not less than the
prevailing rate for comparable service in other employment associated with initial

The provisions of sections 90-189 through 90-194 shall not be applicable to the installation of cable within subdivisions; when the
work of installation is undertaken by the owner of the subdivision or a general contractor
or subcontractor of the owner, and the cable is installed during the development of
the subdivision at the same time as other utilities and public improvements including
sewers, storm drains, electrical, gas and telephone lines, and street improvements
are being installed, whether the work of installation of the cable is performed pursuant
to a contract between the franchisee and the owner of the subdivision or otherwise.
