It is definitely for cable and telco. My guess is it's the same for any kind of drop. If it goes from a unit/apartment to one or more central locations, then it is a drop.

I know this is the case for video service drops, I.e coax, but is it also the 
case for cat5 or fiber drops?

Yes, most of the time it is in use. Let me rephrase drop ownership. Even if we 
(or anyone else for that matter) put in new drops, the building owns it. 
Period. That's the law.

You can put diplexers on the drops to isolate services. This usually ends up in 
a fight with the cable company. And they lose, every time. I have many stories, 
but I'm not going to talk about that on a public list.

Was the existing coax not in use at the time?

We have done a bunch using the existing coax in the building. Usually the 
property owns the drops to the units. It's nice when all of the customers are 
in one place. :) I will say this though, stay away from low income housing. 
Leave those for the telco and cable.

You will be disappointed trying wireless in a brick building.

    Is there really any money in MDU deployments?   If so, are you
    doing WiFi or wired to the end user?
