Y’all now have the rights to pole contacts and rights of way. Even
though it says ROWs controlled by a utility, I am pretty sure that
public entities cannot discriminate against all you telecommunications
providers and have to treat you equal to the others. Just cite
“network neutrality” rules if they balk.
56. Section 224: Ensuring Infrastructure Access. For broadband
Internet access service, we
do not forbear from section 224 and the Commission’s associated
procedural rules (to the extent they
apply to telecommunications carriers and services and are, thus,
within the Commission’s forbearance
authority).53 Section 224 of the Act governs the Commission’s
regulation of pole attachments. In
particular, section 224(f)(1) requires utilities to provide cable
system operators and telecommunications
carriers the right of “nondiscriminatory access to any pole, duct,
conduit, or right-of-way owned or
controlled” by a utility.54 Access to poles and other infrastructure
is crucial to the efficient deployment of
communications networks including, and perhaps especially, new entrants.
