Getting Wired – Telecommunications Service Providers Access To Condominium Corporations

Telecommunication technologies such as telephone, cable and internet services are evolving. Historically, most condominiums were wired for telephone service by Bell and cable service by Rogers. Both companies now offer a full range of telecommunications services through their building infrastructure.

Increasingly, telecommunications service providers to condominiums are seeking permission to upgrade their existing infrastructure. For a service provider such as Bell, this includes installing fibre optics in the building to allow for the provision of enhanced telecommunications services.

There are also many new players who are seeking to provide telecommunications services to residents of condominiums. These service providers are approaching condominiums seeking permission to install their own telecommunications infrastructure to allow them to offer their services to residents thus providing competition to the traditional providers.
