#1 multifamily amenity priority for 2026: Bulk/Managed Wi-Fi & Video — Multi-Housing News / Hunington Properties  ·  Mid-America Apartment Communities generates $18M NOI run-rate from bulk telecom/video agreements

The Market Reality

Streaming Prices
Exploded in 2025.
Your Residents
Are Absorbing It.

Every major platform raised prices in 2025. Your residents are managing 4+ paid subscriptions and spending over $150/month on video — individually, at retail. That spend is capturable. Most property owners just don’t know it’s an option.

73% of Subscribers Are
Frustrated by the Hikes.
They Keep Paying Anyway.

Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV+, Peacock, HBO Max — every major platform raised prices in 2025. 61% of subscribers say they’d cancel if a service rose $5/month — yet they keep paying because the content has them trapped. DIRECTV Stream Bulk locks your residents into today’s bulk rate, insulating them from this annual spiral.

Up to 70% below retail

Sky Connect enables your community to deliver DIRECTV Stream at bulk pricing — up to 70% below what residents pay individually at retail. Structure it as a fully included amenity or a revenue-generating program. Either way, residents stop overpaying — and you control the economics.

Two Deployment Models

Choose the Structure
That Fits Your Portfolio

Both models deliver DIRECTV Stream to every unit through existing internet — no new infrastructure, no satellite dishes, no capital investment. The only difference is how the economics work for ownership.

NOI / Revenue Model

Revenue Model

Property pays bulk rate. Sets resident-facing price. The spread is pure, recurring NOI.

  • Lock in DIRECTV Stream at bulk rate — $25–$37/unit/month
  • Bundle into rent or charge as a separate monthly line item
  • Residents still save significantly vs. $100+/month retail equivalent
  • Best for HOAs, value-add operators, income-focused portfolios, PE firms
  • Recurring monthly revenue — no overhead, no management burden
  • Historical precedent: 91% adoption at this price point

Example: 200 units × $20 spread = $4,000/month | $48,000/year in new NOI. MAA generates $18M annually from bulk video agreements across half its portfolio.

How It Works — Both Models
01

Lock in Bulk Rate

Sky Connect secures DIRECTV Stream pricing for your community — Entertainment at $25, Choice at $37, or Ultimate at $51 per unit/month. You pick the tier.

02

Set Your Structure

Choose the amenity model (included for all residents) or set a resident-facing price above cost and capture the spread as monthly NOI.

03

Residents Go Live

No technicians, no construction, no wiring. Residents download the DIRECTV app on any device — smart TV, phone, tablet — and start streaming the same day.

04

NOI Grows Monthly

Recurring revenue, zero overhead. Residents can upgrade to premium tiers or add-ons — billed directly to them. One clean monthly invoice to ownership through Sky Connect.
