Utility and Cable Operators usually have it in the agreement, that the line leaving your house you own the first 12 inches that exit your building and the Utility/Cable Operator owns or has rights to the cable-line and/or parts of your land after that first 12 inches. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20452693 Thu, 08 May 2008 16:46:11 EDT Re: Time for Comcast.. and anyone else to hire landscapers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20434500 marigolds :

I believe the RoW and Easements only go so far, but they are not permitted to decrease the value of the land, which by placing an ugly green box above ground, they are.
California has a statewide franchise law that does not have such limitations.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20434500 Mon, 05 May 2008 13:23:38 EDT Time for Comcast.. and anyone else to hire landscapers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20434354 jvanbrecht : Fortunately I have FIOS, and the box is flush with my lawn... If any utility wants to put something on my lawn that sticks up above ground, they are more then welcome to, however they will be receiving a bill from a landscaper which will be hired to plant trees, shrubs, and other plants to hide it.. maybe even a water fixture...
