FCC proposes rule limiting HOA power
Nancy Levy sent this link. I'm going to follow up to see which "associations" have been "questioning the Commission's ability to do so."

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, proposed to regulate the ability of homeowners associations to make exclusive video programming contracts to serve multiple dwelling units (MDUs). Some associations have begun questioning the Commissions authority to do so. The FCC also seeks comment on the current competitive landscape among video providers within MDUs and asks whether further FCC rules would improve or impede competition. In rural areas, regulations on exclusive contracts could affect service providers’ plans for building out Internet protocol television (IPTV), especially those that may seek exclusive video service contracts with new housing developments.
