This is an interesting conversation, the next question is, say you have a MDU, 200 condos. The condo complex upon being built agreed to have you as the internet provider. Now, lets say you want to use the existing cable system (the privately owned coax in the building to EVERY condo). no prob, you drop in a headend and start going, now the cable company wants to come in and offer cable TV. now that normally is not an issue, but if they have their own headend (and they won't tell you, you will have to know if they offer it in the area prior), in many cases there is no agreement with the cable co and the building owners, its just an amenity.
So, if you have a contact with the condo, can you tell them that the cable company has to provide a filter coax tv service with no DOCSIS ? MOst cases the cable company will just say screw you. But its the same thing with a tower lease. But then is this worth fighting with the prosperity owners? Jerry Richardson wrote: > I have tried to get service to potential customers in Bishop Ranch.
