STENGEL, District Judge.
RCN Telecom Services, Inc., a cable service provider, filed this suit against De-Luca Enterprises, Inc., a residential land developer, alleging a violation of section 621(a)(2) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (“Cable Act”), 47 U.S.C. 541(a)(2). The threshold questions are whether there is an implied private right of action pursuant to the Cable Act and if the Act bars an exclusive agreement between a developer and a cable company that precludes rival cable companies from providing services in a given residential development.
