See if the various road jurisdictions will just let you in. If you're a CLEC or franchise, they have to let you in, but they can just be nice and let you in anyway.

So we've started looking at trenching our own fiber but we've run into a couple roadblocks and I thought I'd reach out to the list and see if others have run into similar issues. Obviously this is location and jurisdiction dependent, but we can't seem to get anyone from City Hall to return our calls or offer any hints as to where to look. How did you get permission to use utility right of ways and easements? Did you file for CLEC certification? Did you look at a CATV franchise agreement with your city? Did you approach each landowner and negotiate your own easement? Also, do any of you offer triple play services? We haven't had a lot of luck looking into distribution agreements for TV services either. Any info or resources would be appreciated!
