CCNG is a group of telecom and cable experts whose purpose is to assist Multi-Dwelling Building Stakeholders in making the BEST decision for THEIR community through a focus on the “Right of Entry” (ROE) agreements required by Federal and Local Jurisdictions.
HOA’s Legal Jeopardy – a retail “ROE”
A 140+ Association in Seattle engaged CCNG to analyze their provider contracts and options. In the analysis, CCNG discovered the association had accidentally given “Exclusive” rights to the same wires, to 2 different large providers. This significant legal threat to the association was resolved by CCNG while simultaneously increasing the provider choice for half the residents. The end result was to reduce legal jeopardy, increase resident choice, and add money to the budget reserve.
**NOTE** Right of Entry (ROE) agreements are a specialty aspect of all Multi Dwelling Buildings, and should be examined once every 5 or 10 years for the Owner’s benefit. This resource is the best opportunity to get a clear understanding of details TODAY, and to plan for maximum efficiency TOMORROW! These agreements are in place – even if owners and managers have never seen them. Ignore these agreements at your own risk!
CCNG helps answer these three critical questions:
Specific
WHAT ARE THE CHRW, CHW, AND DISTRIBUTION SETS OF WIRING?
What practical difference does it make regarding what providers have access to these different sets of wiring?
Accurate
What needs to happen to bring in more choices of providers?
What will happen to the budget and/or retention value if these changes are made?
Actionable
what is the condition of the infrastructure in our facility?
Does wiring need to be replaced or is it fine – and can we make the provider pay for it? When does the existing ROE expire, and what is gained and/or lost when it expires? How much money is at risk if the ROE is not handled correctly?
