Re: Satellite dish attached to public utility pole

The report said that the telephone pole service technician could not climb the telephone pole to complete the removal of a bridge tap on my telephone line. There isn't enough room to get a bucket truck between the houses to reach above the satelite dish. I've seen it... the satellite dish is attached at the height where a ladder would rest against the telephone pole. The technican could not go over or around the satellite dish to reach the metal ladder feet that are embedded in the telephone pole.

It's illegal to attach things to property you don't own/lease or have an easement for. ComEd would certainly NOT grant such a lease or easement for a satellite dish. Their legal department would never allow it.

SBC is a tenant on the pole and cannot do anything about what is on the pole which is not theirs. What you were told sounds plausible.

Call ComEd, ask for repair, and tell them about the dish. They will deal with it. If there is a transformer on the pole they'll probably deal with it the day you call.
