Do they only sell those to ISPs or could a housing developer or a hotelier get their hands on those?



They don't sell them. But, if the developer / hotelier had a sufficiently large network, think providing service equivalent to the number of rooms at a US state university system network (multiple universities), then they might qualify: https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/


There are plenty of hotel groups big enough for that, but their properties are geographically distributed and I can't imagine they'd benefit from running fibre for their own multi-site network. Better to just connect each property to a local ISP like everyone else.

Maybe there are some exceptions. Disney World? MGM Resorts in Las Vegas?
