A Quick Guide to Choice, Compliance, and Community
Navigating telecom regulations can be complex, following you’ll find federal and state guidelines that protect property owners, tenants, and providers alike.
Understanding the FCC Guidelines (Order 22-12)
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designed these rules to ensure a fair, competitive marketplace in Multiple Tenant Environments (MTEs):
- No Exclusive Contracts: ISPs cannot enter into agreements that grant them exclusive rights to serve a building. Tenants must have the freedom to choose.
- No Exclusive Revenue-Sharing: Rules prohibit ISPs from offering property owners profit cuts in exchange for shutting out other competitors.
- State-Level Protections: Many states (including Minnesota) mandate that property owners cannot discriminate against occupants or alter rent based on their chosen phone or internet provider.
