Ok here is the current situation. I spoke with my pole rep at the electric company and he had no idea that they ceased operations. He is not aware there is any problem with payment on the pole agreements. How he was very interested in avoiding another situation from another cable company that went belly up and left fiber. He said if they, windjammer, give the ok they will allow us to take over the pole attachments eagerly.
Now that leads to my big question. If we can take over the existing cable they have, can we use it? Would we have to replace it with something else? I dont think we will get access to where the headend was but only existing cable in the area we are looking to run fiber in. Can we manage to leverage what they got in place and tie it back to our stuff?

The selling company only owned them a fairly short period of time, and they did not bring them current on their attachment fees from the company before. Not to say that is the case with Windjammer, just it is the case with others. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
