Most towns will allow this - however they may charge you a few fees. 1. Franchise Fee: This can be tricky. Some locales will request to know the number of clients going through the link and then charge you a flat fee per client. If you take a look at your catv bill (and others) you may notice a franchise fee. While this is a general overview - it kinda explains it. 2. Permit Fee: self explanatory 3. Interconnect / Cross Over Fees
Overall most of the time these are not expensive - what might be is the interconnect / cross over fees the facility may charge - but of course chances are if your going to the roof or to a pole - you will have those fees. If you contemplate fiber (which imho is a great choice due to the yield of bandwidth ) there are two camps of thought. A. Get just what you need today B. Plan for tomorrow... Either way its best to use an outdoor construction cable as well as one that is built to be stranded between buildings and/or poles: loose tube construction perhaps might be best for the application - just make sure you grab the gel-filled vs empty or dry-block if you plan for this long term. If this is planned to be long term use and is a primary back haul I suggest doing it right the first time. Questions - feel free to ask on the list - or off :-) _____________________________________________________________________________________ Glenn Kelley | Principle | HostMedic |www.HostMedic.com Email: [email protected] Pplease don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
