A company deploying FTTH got all the buried infrastructure in, but has been moving the target date for hooking up customers from December to March to May to August. The reason they give prospective customers is permits. They say they got the permits to deploy in the ROW and utility easements but need permits to bury the drop cables to houses.
Does this sound legit? I didn't even realize you needed a permit to bury a cable in someone's yard from their house to a handhole or flowerpot. Would this be a blanket permit to deploy in town, or a permit for each install? And could permitting really take 8 months?
