Re: Not as bad...

It's stupid cities not paying attention to their franchise language, or state level franchises that have no language.
Cities can include language requiring appropriate compensation to offset property value loss from installing equipment like this in the easement. States can too, but I have yet to see a state include it in their statewide franchise law.
(California is one of those states with a statewide franchise law that allows easements anywhere necessary on private property and has no requirement for compensation for lost property value. It does require repair of damage, but with no definition of adequate repair.)

Not as stupid as you may think. The cities and towns are not turning a blind eye to this sort of stuff, they condone it.

See, if the cable company or the phone company have to dig up your lawn, and put a box here and there, no skin of the town fathers' nose. Grass grows back, and there is minimal disruption to the flow of traffic.

Mandate the use of street area, and all of a sudden, you've got traffic woes, torn up pavement, dust, etc.

The town powers that be WANT the likes of Verizon, AT&T and Comcast digging your lawn instead of ripping up blacktop.

And if you ask me, it makes perfect sense....
