Are you a CLEC? That changes things, because if they have allowed someone in the ROW already, I think they have to allow you too. There was some rule passed, maybe in the Telecom Act, that states that cities cannot discriminate, and must allow all providers. IANAL...
I am currently in a battle with my city because they want to charge me a franchise tax...that they don't charge to AT&T, Windstream, or Sprint.
