NY DPS requires them to use a cost based formula to determine pole
rents. So one might be $9/year per pole and one might be $12/year per
pole because the two companies have different costs, but if they charge
$12 for cable then it's $12 for us too.
Oh and muni utilities don't have to follow the rules for some reason.
....and of course that's just this state. These things are going to be
different everywhere.

I thought the rule had more to do with equity in pole attachment
fees. So if the pole owner charges the telco or cableco $10 per
month, they can’t charge a WISP $20 per month.

There's lots of variations on this locality dependent.
For example in MI I need a state-mandated municipal permit to have
telecom infrastructure in the ROW even for an aerial run on someone
else's poles.
Our county had to be satisfied we were a "real public utility" before
they would issue underground permits. This was their own policy they
made up as far as I could tell. Even though the municipal permit
specifically allows "any entity".
None of this was at all related to a 477 filing.

So reading through the list the consensus is anyone filing a 477
can access the row, does this require a city or county permit with
plans etc? For laying duct, installing a pole or cabinet etc?
What is the process to attach to poles? Just make a request with
the pole owner? City permits? How do you identify the pole owner?
So if I'm a wisp today and want to be a fisp (haha) tomorrow I
just need to consider myself a ISP, pull permits with the city or
county and start digging? Are permits even required to work in the
row in most cases?
For poles I'm assuming you make drawings of the route, get an
attachment agreement with the owner and once make ready is done
your good to dangle your string?
If it's any consolation I searched the archives for a few hours
before asking these stupid questions 🤔
