I would use the footnote from the now defunct perhaps net neutrality that coined and defined a BIAS provider as a quasi public entity. Just state you are a BIAS provider as defined by the FCC. Give them a copy of the 477 and say that the internet is defined as interstate commerce. Then lay on them the new small cell order. All 160+ pages printed out.
Perhaps bury them in enough paperwork and they will cave. Also, how cold MI requires a municipal permit in unincorporated areas? From: Chris Fabien Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2019 5:18 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] How to access ROW, permits, poles There's lots of variations on this locality dependent. For example in MI I need a state-mandated municipal permit to have telecom infrastructure in the ROW even for an aerial run on someone else's poles. Our county had to be satisfied we were a "real public utility" before they would issue underground permits. This was their own policy they made up as far as I could tell. Even though the municipal permit specifically allows "any entity". None of this was at all related to a 477 filing.

For laying duct, installing a pole or cabinet etc? What is the process to attach to poles? Just make a request with the pole owner? City permits? How do you identify the pole owner? So if I'm a wisp today and want to be a fisp (haha) tomorrow I just need to consider myself a ISP, pull permits with the city or county and start digging? Are permits even required to work in the row in most cases? For poles I'm assuming you make drawings of the route, get an attachment agreement with the owner and once make ready is done your good to dangle your string? If it's any consolation I searched the archives for a few hours before asking these stupid questions 🤔 TJ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
