(2) Accepts or agrees to accept incentives or rewards that:
(A) are offered by a communications service provider to the owner, operator, developer, or occupants of the multitenant real estate; and
(B) are contingent upon the provision of communications service by that provider to the occupants of the multitenant real estate, to the exclusion of any services provided by other communications service providers.
(3) Collects from the occupants of the multitenant real estate any charges for the provision of communications service to the occupants, including charges collected through rent, fees, or dues.
(4) Enters into an agreement with a communications service provider that is prohibited by section 7 of this chapter.
(b) This subsection applies to a communications service provider that is relieved under subsection (a) of an obligation to provide communications service to the occupants of multitenant real estate.

However, the commission shall not exercise jurisdiction over the terms, conditions, rates, or availability of any communications service voluntarily offered by a communications service provider under this subsection.
