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.

Subject: [AFMUG] public-private fiber models 

Anybody have direct experience with public-private partnerships as far 
as what works and what doesn't? 

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.
