A cable company offers to wire the neighborhood saving the builder some money. In exchange the HOA setup by the builder bans satellite dishes. In more annoying cases the HOA negotiates a group plan included in your HOA assessment bill; that really stifles competition because paying for an alternative on top of cable is irrational. The FCC banned satellite dish bans back in the 90s.

Apartment building operators still do this scam. The incumbent cable company will share revenue in exchange for the landlord refusing any competitor wiring.

Rent seeking in ISP markets is peanuts compared with zoning though. If real estate was much less supply constrained landlords would never fathom annoying a customer with inferior utilities.
