You have to follow certain rules to attach to their poles and even when you are going to go with their rules they do anything possible to delay you. They know CLecs can't just start planting poles because they will back opposition to the additional poles and franchise requests. They also know how up set people get over Vrad placement. In my city alone I can think of about 15 to 20 active CLecs off the top of my head. Could you imagine how many vrad type boxes there would be and how upset people would be about that.

And for the other poster a Muni is not a CLEC. And they could have built out they just didnt. and now in many states, the state regulates the ROW and not the local areas. and why not go to the state and ask to pop up your own poles or put your line underground?

Oh and it's also owned by the city government to boot. Wireless can be another problem because it's rather difficult to deploy new tower sites because people are afraid their eyes will fall out if they have too look at another tower. A lot of people around here like to bitch about the lack of choice but they also like to bitch about the infrastructure that is needed to give them choice.

But in Ohio the major power company is a CLEC too they offer dial-up though in most of the area but using their CLEC brand- First Communications owned by First Energy. but AEP doesnt care to be a CLEC. But also in Ohio we have a statewide ROW agreement. Which could be used to enter in the market. Especially if video was going to be offered. Also in this area the cable company owns a great deal of their own poles. Power and Phone are on one side of the street and cable is on the other.
