See <https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/consumer-faq-rules-service-providers-multiple-tenant-environments>. This is the entire city and outside area. What you posted is about buildings From your link.... Apartments, condominiums, and office buildings are homes and workplaces for millions of Americans. To promote competition and consumer choice, the FCC regulates access to telecommunications, cable, and broadband services in these "multiple tenant environments," or MTEs for short. These rules regulate the kinds of agreements service providers may enter into with landlords and prohibit certain anti-competitive arrangements. Additional rules recently went into effect that place new obligations and restrictions on service providers in MTEs. If you are tenant in an MTE, or own or manage one, check out the FAQ below, along with the overview of new FCC rules for MTEs, to gain a better understanding of how you may be affected. > > I would probably contact the FCC and see what their [the FTC] position > is when a city attempts to grant a monopoly to a service provider.
