FCC Bans Exclusive Contracts On Telecommunications Services In Apartment Buildings
The FCC has nixed the practice of “exclusive contracts to provide telecommunications services in residential apartment buildings, and prohibited enforcement of existing contracts that contain exclusivity provisions“and ““triple-play” offerings of voice, video and broadband.” This new rule follows on the FCC’s 2007 ban on one-party contracts in apartment buildings. Here are links to the various Commissioners’ statements on the new rule.
