Nope. Your duct, your duct. Yes, in some cases the LEC has to share. The only way you can be forced to share is if that was in the easement or other ROW agreements. I see no reason to become a CLEC anymore.

We have not filed a CLEC status yet as I have contract review going with my uniquely grandfathered access to a local fiber ring, and want to make sure I don't mess that up. So, that aside. If my company puts in conduit in a right away to push fiber into and then someone else comes along, do we have to share that conduit with anyone (if there is room)? My perception going the other way, is that if the LEC has conduit in place, the LEC may or may not have to share conduit space, and can't make reasons or excused or very long delays etc., to ultimately deter you from being able to do that. I a considering doing conduit to 3 1000+ communities and then FTTH in those communities and don't feel great if I am in anyway also setting it up for a competitor to have access to my hard fought efforts (and $$) to get in installed. Is there ANY I could be forced to give them access to my conduit? Paul
