I don't believe exclusive contracts are permitted by the FCC. I believe you're limited to exclusive marketing.

A telco can cry foul and play the fact that telephones are an essential service. Even if they can’t legally do anything, they can pressure the building owner enough where it becomes an issue. I have seen tenants want to order landline phones in buildings where a WISP had exclusive rights. The tenant is going to be favored by the building owner almost every time. My advice get exclusive access to any pathways for cable in regards to your services with the ability to sublet. If you can get it, get an exclusive franchise for providing data services.

If our company goes into a building and wires (either pre-construction of post construction), will a contract legally cover us so that nobody else can come around and claim rights to use that to distribute a service also? Does that “ruling” change it we install conduit as well? We have a bunch buildings to get “wired” over the next 60 days and I want to protect ourselves if at all possible.
