Re: Deed Restriction? however HOAs have been thwacked by the FCC(DBS dishes), and i doubt a HOA could refuse to let Verizon into the devlopment if Verizon has a franchise with that town(unless it is a gated private community, even then it might be shaky).

kudos:2 | Why not? If the HOA is not publicly owned (i.e., no ROW), then why should the privately owned community be mandated to allow entrance of any other commercial entity without their consent? |

| I agree, companies cannot lay cable where they do not have a right of way. Franchise agreements are their way of obtaining a right-of-way, but there's no law mandating a franchise agreement. It is in the communities best interest to provide this right of way (as long as its not obnoxious), but developer-controlled HOAs are not looking out for the communities members interest. They made an agreement with OpenBand that forbids competition, so future HOA groups are stuck with it. Buyer beware. |
