If you file a 477 then you are a BIAS provider.

Yes, I understand that general definition 

But is there formal definition? I shoot a wireless link to my folks house 
across the street, they pay me a fee to access my home network resource 
including internet access. The questionable legality aside, do I meed the 
definition of BIAS at that point? both curbsides are utility ROW in front of 
our house as well as the patch under the road between our houses, Id love to be 
able to run fiber to them, even better if it were legal

Not being a smart ass, genuinely curious if the grey area has been defined or 
tested anywhere yet.

Is there some form my boss filled out a long time ago with some agency that 
formally made him and ISP?

  What formally defines BIAS provider?

    Well, depends on who owns the ROW.  Yes, generally you have to get 
permission unless there is a public utility easement already there.  If the 
power company got a ROW from the property owner that ROW will not extend to you 
unless you are attaching to their poles and paying them a pole attachment fee.

    It's 400 pages.  I tried a search in the document for right-of-way and 
found one match for a Section 224 of the Commission's associated procedural 
rules, but can't find much else.  Basically, I'm trying to have a pole placed 
by the power company in a ROW near a road - they already have poles nearby.  
They're asking me for an easement from the property owner.  I'm thinking that 
shouldn't be necessary in this situation.  Am I wrong?

      Does anyone have a link to anything official which states that a BIAS 
provider has access to the ROW along with other utilities?  I'm having trouble 
finding the actual order. 

      Also, even though we would have ROW access as a BIAS provider, would a 
specific easement from the adjacent property owner still be necessary since 
there is a ROW in place already?
