Chesterfield, MO | Faster Internet & Fair Rules ... existing providers often control poles to which competitors need access ... Does anyone have further information on this? I thought the electric company owned the poles and cable paid a fee to hang their wires. Does cable sign an exclusive agreement with the electric company to prevent others from using them? |

| Sometimes cities own most of the poles. I have never heard of electric companies granting exclusive access but perhaps cities sometimes do. |

Chesterfield, MO | The article uses the word "provider" and "competitors" which implies the existing cable provider is preventing competitor access.
Perhaps some cities also provide cable? In that case are they a provider and refuse competition? |
