@comcast.net | does this apply to phone service
What does this ruling specify regarding telephone services provided by Cable company?
My MDU has exclusive deal with comcast. After this ruling, do the tenants have a right to request service from telcos? |

| This one would be interesting.. If this ruling is actually able to survive, I would wonder very hard if they complex could keep them out.
Void of an exclusive agreement, phone has the obligation to wire every home.

| how do they have an obligation? before the telco wanted into video the FCC didnt give a damn about what the cable co's did really. but now they want into play cable companies but they're not "cable". but you are serviced for cable, phone and internet with a cable company, or one that has been agreed to offer you services. but the ruling says that you can request another provider but the complex still can turn down them building within. so basically its still an exclusive agreement with the "option" to get someone else. But as the cable companies; i don't see where the FCC can get off being a court system. The FCC is just a bunch of Telco Monkeys. |

| I am SO confused by your post.. sorry.
But, "how do they.." who are you referring to they? Telco?
Telco has to pass all homes, unlike cable. Cable must wire according to the negotiated franchise agreement. They key is "pass"..
