Some days, it is a wondrous new information and television provisioner and government should stay out of the way while they work on their boxes whether in or on the ground or hung on the side of a pole like some catch of the day in a back-woods logging camp - - after all, they aren't the fone company with all the regulatory mish-mash that goes with it.

Then there are days when they want to hide under the umbrella and get protection by claiming to be a utility serving the public good and full of right to build in or on the public's rights of way.

Does it apply to "them"? If it waddles, quacks and has web feets.... :uhh:

Do they offer free service or at least some financial compensation? If they offered me free service of their highest tiers then we could talk.
I'd say no because normally they're placing these things on the easements which are already set aside for utility use.

Nevermind that they've been dropping them at the end of folks driveways because that's where the easement is.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20632961 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:23:33 EDT Re: If pole mounted Vrads aren't on property, does customer have http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20631841 ib50MbSoon :

Course they mount it just a few feet abovee the ground, so it's technically "on the pole" but just as unsightly.

But as we've seen before, the commentary is "if you want the service you deal with the box" and that's that.

Would like to see them try that here though, private community, no poles, all buried, and the boxes are concealed by hedge or some such thing. Won't be any of this drop it in the front easement on the other side of the sidewalk stuff.

I understood that AT&T in CT. had to get permission for BUILDING these on customers property. But if they are mounted on an existing telephone pole, does the CT. PUC ruling even apply. And can AT&T avoid getting residents permission?
