Is a landlord required to provide Cable for a building?

[David A.]

I just watched this courtroom show where the tenants of a 12 unit building were suing the association for not providing cable. Only 8 out of the 12 units are wired.The association claimed that it would cost $5,200 to run the extra lines to the side of the building to get these with cable. The tenants have been paying $120 for association fees i dont know if monthly or yearly and witnesses were called on behalf of the association. They didn't want to be charged $400 per unit only for these to be able to get cable. To my surprise, the judge was in favor of the tenant requesting the cable and ordered everyone in the building to pay $400 to run the lines. So I am curious, is it required for a landlord to provide cable?
