This note refers to ErnestL1 12/19/2008 (restricted Amenities) The Board has decided that Cable supplied within the maintenance fee is a service ,not a amenity. It does seem ,if I took full advantage of the cable TV for use of a internet phone,voice over, the new cable install and owned by the community should supply the same benefits. It does not. However I am of course required to pay the same maintenance fee The board has an exclusive contract with the cable supplier preventing any other firm to offer communication enhancements.. I do think this is a violation of FCC-07-189... Comcast has asked me to get a letter from the Board giving them permission to enter the Resort.This may get sticky!

ErnestL,
Is this the only contracted amenity/service in the complex, obviously a condo? If it is a service does your condo charge pro rata? What does your documents say about how to charge for service? Is the service cost included in your budget as an expense and as such considered when you budget is calulated and your assessments are calculated? I suppose the cost is billed as an equal charge for each specific unit, which might let you off the hook but if it is billed as a contract price to the association, do you have a problem?

What does a reort have to do with this? Is Comcast asking you to do their work for them? If comcast feels it is improper, why don't they protest? Is comcast using you or do you have a personal issue (nothing wrong with that) that you want resolved?
