§ 76.2000   Exclusive access to multiple dwelling units generally.

   (a) Prohibition. No cable operator or other provider of MVPD service
   subject to 47 U.S.C. 548 shall enforce or execute any provision in a
   contract that grants to it the exclusive right to provide any video
   programming service (alone or in combination with other services) to a
   MDU. All such exclusivity clauses are null and void.

   (b) Definition. For purposes of this rule, MDU shall include a multiple
   dwelling unit building (such as an apartment building, condominium
   building or cooperative) and any other centrally managed residential
   real estate development (such as a gated community, mobile home park,
   or garden apartment); provided however, that MDU shall not include time
   share units, academic campuses and dormitories, military bases, hotels,
   rooming houses, prisons, jails, halfway houses, hospitals, nursing
   homes or other assisted living facilities.
