If there are no poles, does ROW give privilege to put them in? I assume that would get costly.
Im probably wrong here, but I dont like poles of the wood kind, our drunks in our rural areas are masters at taking out more than one per DUI, we have champion drunks here. And I dee them snapped alot in the winter time. I wouldnt consider anything direct buried. Would you put handholes in at intersections where you would be making a turn? Do farmers do JULIE (thats our locating program in this area) before they tile? I assume not since they take ROW to farm, a little each year (we had a project go through a couple years ago where a farmer has a few miles of corn about 10 feet wide dug out for being in the ROW, I loved it, cheating tax subsidized prick) On average, for plowed or trenched duct, permitting costs aside, what is the cost per mile to run fiber (duct and fiber I assume are the only infrastructure costs exclusing the treminations and hardware on each end) On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 12:30 PM, Sterling Jacobson <[email protected]> wrote: > How do Comcast and Centurylink get that privilege then? > > > > *From:* Af [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Chuck McCown > *Sent:* Tuesday, June 30, 2015 11:20 AM > > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Fiber in the country > > > > Nope > > > > *From:* Sterling Jacobson <[email protected]> > > *Sent:* Tuesday, June 30, 2015 11:11 AM > > *To:* [email protected] > > *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Fiber in the country > > > > Also, does this mean we can get on the city/plat developers list and put > conduit in open trench and see/approve developer ROW plans? > > > > *From:* Af [mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *On > Behalf Of *Chuck McCown > *Sent:* Tuesday, June 30, 2015 11:06 AM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Fiber in the country > > > > Ye’all have rights for ROWs now.
