    That does look interesting. I do see one issue, that being apartments. Since they have to run a cable to the building they would have to get the apartment management to agree to provide their service. As long as enough residents request that it be done that would probably not be an issue.

    Other cable companies here don't have any problems with hi-rise apartments.
    Strata management must allow but don't know what the conditions are.

    I really have no idea as to requirements either but I do see a slight difference in this and say another cable company coming in. In just about any apartment building anymore the wiring is there for cable, just connect at the junction box. This is different as new wiring would need to be laid as it is fiber optics. Of course, eventually, such buildings would end up with a junction box for fiber just like they have now for cable. In the long run I don't see an issue... starting out, it may slow things down a bit.

    All in all, I'm ready! I'd try it in a heartbeat! ;)
