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.pdf https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-345161A1.p... But for now, exclusive provider agreements like this are not actually enforceable.

  > have been prohibited federally since 2009. Well, for now, at least. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the current clowns in office reverse it
