It'll start out like most marriages. That should be all you need to know. I'd keep an eye on the divorce rates :) In my case I have the perfect wife.. but dealing with municipalities and government you can expect your wife to be a "Karen".
I'd ensure you own the fiber and have access to work on the fiber. But guarantee them X amount of bandwidth over X period of time, you'll provide the labor and monitoring for all their connections. Get it in front of a lawyer. If shit goes downhill you both will be covered. Just make sure any future projects with them won't get squashed.

I'm discussing with a county gov that has funding to build a network, and they're open to almost anything. The nature of their funding requires that they own the network. The nature of their knowledge level is that they have no idea how to be the network owner. So essentially it has to be a public-private partnership of some type. My first thought was we could lease fiber miles from them and own the electronics. They keep the lease payments in a fund which they use to pay for repairs. We could do repairs and send them bills based on an agreed upon fee schedule. Naturally I'd prefer exclusive access and I'm sure they'd prefer open access. I think my biggest argument in favor of exclusive access is when you have a problem there's only one throat to choke. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
