Re: Not entirely wrongNot in Massachusetts, state law requires a landlord to give cable providers (FiOS TV) access to the building if one or more tenants requests service. If FiOS ever comes to town, I'll cite that law when having FiOS installed in my townhouse. Also, they cannot install service if a tenant refuses consent. FiOS meets the definition of a cable provider under state law since they provide CATV service.
And Verizon is not rebuilding their copper plant so the tenants will vacate the building when they cannot get Internet or phone or have to charge rock bottom rents when they cannot get any tenants. I think the time has come to sunset pots.
Hopefully Sandy will accelerate the pots sunset and we can eventually get FiOS where I live. Copper phone lines have already exceeded their useful life. Its like flying WWII era equipment in Operation Iraqi Freedom. |
