The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that competitive video providers must have access to the inside wiring in multiple dwelling units (MDUs) at the terminal block in order to provide video services. It also ruled that wiring behind sheet rock is considered to be inaccessible as is wiring behind brick or cinder block. Consequently, competitive video providers should not be forced to cut into sheet rock to provide service.
This ruling will help ATT and Verizon to offer their IPTV services in MDUs where the cable companies are already established. This is particularly important t0 Verizon that serves a large number of MDUs in New York City and other large Eastern cities.
