Nothing comes out of assessments for satellite or internet service.
Individual owners pay USADISH/BigSkyz.
The contract the then-Board signed with USADISH in 2000 was an
"exclusive provider" contract that was a normal practice at that time.
The Board has little leverage over USADISH unless it violated the
terms of the contract with individual owners. That's why it's
critical that people report back to us and document the service
problems.
At the meeting this week, the Board will be discussing the implications
of the recent FCC ruling that prohibits MDU (multi-dwelling unit)
exlusive contracts between building owners and association boards
and providers.
