Re: Can broadband internet be ran through the same

The ruling states in a nutshell that the telco and cable companies could not have exclusivity contracts. It was a way for the market to be opened up in the MDUs. It allows multiple backbones with fair and complete access to the building to the demark ie tap. The customer has the right to decide who attached what service into "their" coax, cat 3, cat 5. It means that the customer has the right to buy services from any company out there that the property owners let on the property. The only companies that are allowed to have an exclusive contract are small, non right of way companies (do not carry the signal via wire or fiber over a right of way, READ DBS). The customer can have sat and cable diplexed if they choose in an MDU. I have been to court on 2 occassions over this pending ruling, and it has been stated in the courts, the cable company owns the riser to the last tap, regardless if they wired into the units, although if the pending ruling fails to be passed into law, then it will revert back to the original contracts held by the cable,telco company and the home owners association.
