Well NY wants more broadband deployment so there's been a lot of
involvement from NY DPS lately. They're trying to remove barriers to
broadband roll out, and the topic you brought up is an area where some
things have changed.
* If the pole is otherwise fine but doesn't have room for us with
appropriate clearances, then it's our expense to make room.
* If there are existing violations for comm clearances or MAD, then
the pole owner now has to pay for it. I mean maybe they were
supposed to pay for it before, but now they really do. NY came down
hard on this stuff.
I'm not sure if you saw on the news about NY kicking Spectrum out of NY
State. They're not really going to force Spectrum out, they're just
proving they can if they want to. That and a few other incidents were
(at least I'm pretty sure) demonstrations of how the state can make life
hard for utilities who don't want to toe the line. I could name a few
/downsides /to heavy state involvement, but the upside is that
everyone's attitude about pole attachment has improved in the past year
or so.
Benefits of living under the thumb of the Evil Empire I suppose.

I would probably enjoy pole loading discussions, but not enough do
crash your party.
I find it frustrating that power companies use a pole attachment
request as a vehicle in getting their crappy poles changed out for free.

If you like to discuss pole loading analysis and National Grid
attachment applications then it's a really fun time.
I sent 5 calendar invites to a DPS bureaucrat that morning, I'm not sure
what I did differently on the TRC one, but apparently that one went to
everybody in my address book.

Calendar Invite
I apologize for the Calendar invite that went to the list. Please
don't join my call with TRC solutions.
