Don't expect any ruling to effect cable's hold on apartments, seeing that less than half can ever receive any form of satellite because of receiver dish restrictions, and complexes don't have to allow you to run a cabled connection from a building face that are not directly connected to your apartment, most apartments aren't stuck with cable because of contracts with the complex holders, they are stuck with cable because they don't have a wall which a receiver can be hung facing South West which is required by the satellite providers.
This is about CABLE providers being anti-competitive, not anything to do with changes to where you can place satellite dishes. Most leases do not allow you to place a satellite dish outside of your leased space (AKA your deck). Nobody said this would be changing.

So what was your point again?
