There are electrical rules regarding poles within a certain distance that you have to attach to.

You can charge fees but $12 a year or so is pretty much it. There is an FCC calculation that governs this.

Just call the telco joint use office and let them know you have a pole there. Send them a blueprint like document of where it is.

how does that work?
If you drop a pole, the telco has to pay you an attachment fee?
If the telco doesnt want the financial burden, since their poles are already spaced appropriately and does not attach, where does the liability fall for wear damage to the strung cable?
Does the telco have recourse on the attachment fee?

    Thanks for the tip.
    I'll also try to position ours to miss there cable by a few inches
    so it's not actually touching unless they want it to :)

        I would just notify the telco that they need to come and
        attach the cable to your pole once it is in.

        Subject: [AFMUG] dumb pole question

        There's a longish span with an existing phone trunk on
        it---probably a
        50 pair.  The power is on the other side of the road for
        reasons that
        nobody understands.  I would like to insert a pole in the
        middle of the
        existing span....I would put it in line with the existing
        poles in the
        ROW of course.  So I would end up with a phone line touching
        my pole but
        not attached to it.

        I can't think of a specific reason this would be a problem,
        but I know a
        couple of you guys do this more often than me and  I wonder if
        you know
        of any reason this would be bad.
