We don’t have exclusivity, we just have a service included in HOA fees. They can have any service provider they want. But the service provider will have to do an overbuild into a saturated area. I would bet they will not do it.

MDU, subdivisions. What would be illegal about it? The homeowners are free to go after any service they want, but they are locked into my service. This has been litigated at the CATV level years ago and was found legal.

When the deal gets blown out by the next company that sues you and the HOA over it, is it going to be worth your time and investment?

They want me to come in, they will put the subscription to my service as part of the HOA fees. They will not let others in the ditch. All for 10% of the gross. So I get 100% take rate. I am not unhappy with the deal. But I am wondering about agreeing to a perpetual royalty.
