1Opinion of the Court
FAY, Circuit Judge:
Centel Cable Television Company of Florida (“Centel”) moved for a preliminary injunction under section 621(a)(2) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, 47 U.S.C. § 541(a)(2) (Supp. Ill 1985) (“section 621(a)(2)”) to allow it to provide cable television to a new residential community. 1 The district court judge dismissed the case on the basis that there was not an implied private right of action for section 621(a)(2). Since we believe that Congress intended a private right of action, we reverse the district court and remand for further proceedings.
