You are right, but it is a big deal for Verizon in apartment complexes that have already got FiOS installed but previously couldn't have FiOS TV because of exclusive contracts.
You are right that this would wipe out existing exclusive contracts(if the company is a cable company). But the timing of getting the services offered might be delayed by court cases and injunctions. The cable industry beat the FCC in court before and won't go down without a fight this time either.
