No, not a CLEC. The other provider is an ILEC though.
My company is just a WISP that is wanting to move to fiber.

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.

Me and another company have both requested access to the city ROW to run
FTTx on the same day in the same city, and the response from the city was that
they are trying to decide if they want to allow access to one or both of us or
if they feel their current formally city funded company is enough.
My question to the group is, is it even up to them or is it up to the
residents? And if I cannot get into the ROW, what alternatives do I have?
