In this locality the power company is very good about maintaining the
line, but the LEC's are not. The LEC, however, is much easier to deal
with on make-ready. Mostly because electric make-ready requires union
electricians who make six figures a year and comms make-ready requires
the least expensive person you trust to touch a phone line. .....just a
blunt truth.
So in this locality at least, if you want a well maintained ROW use the
power company poles. If you want lower cost of entry, use the LEC's
solo poles wherever possible. I'm sure it's different everywhere.

So once you are paying rent to be on their poles, are they required to keep
them well maintained? Or just replace them if they fall down? I see a lot
of rural utility poles in terrible condition, they don't have fiber on them
though, since it's fairly easy to bury the fiber in most areas here. I have
commented on occasion "the poles are supposed to support the wires, not the
other way around". I've also had farmers tell me (unverified) that the
utility companies won't fix poles until they are knocked down by a storm
because then they get some sort of subsidy to replace them.

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.

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