> Comcast then tried to say that they had exclusive contracts with the landlords... but under CO law such restrictions placed on tenants are illegal.

We could use such a law in California.



You don't need one! Exclusive telecom provider agreements with multiple-dwelling units (MDUs) have been prohibited federally since 2009.

Now, it's a fair bet that the current FCC leadership will flip on this - they published a "Notice of Inquiry" to "seek comment" on what they're now calling "multiple tenant environments" earlier this year: https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-345161A1.p...

But for now, exclusive provider agreements like this are not actually enforceable.

Well, for now, at least. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the current clowns in office reverse it


Hey those clowns went to Ivy league schools in some cases! Best clown college ever?
