Cutting the Cord – The MDU Role

As the entertainment world transitions from traditional cable services to Internet viewing, there will, of course, be a proliferation of solutions like Hulu, YouTubeTV, Amazon, Apple TV ... and the national carriers themselves. Given scant net neutrality protection and almost no relevant state or local-level oversight, and powerful competing forces with which property owners and managers have little or no negotiating experience or even the need for negotiations, what's the path to resident satisfaction and financial bliss?

Owning Your Own System

Is it a good idea – and if so, why -- for property owners to own the networks in their buildings?

Plenty of questions, our panel explores the answers.
