Sounds about right. > > When the original owner/developer started this thing, he put in underground > power and phones to some of it, and some of it's in the air. Interesting. How accessible is the conduit etc? Is the demarc at the edge, or does the phone company own anything inside? Just wondering if you can get access to the existing paths with just the HOA approval. > > The roads are not county property, they are owned by the HOA that runs the > development. That's good. Is the power/phone is HOA property as well? Or a local utility company? Anyone familiar with what legal entanglements and > requirements are involved in stringing fiber? Most of what I have read is about right of way issues from cities. Presumably there are code requirements of some sort.

There is an organization that does a lot of the cabling standards and stuff.... bsci or bcsi or something. Having a hard time recalling the name right now. There is also scte.

Of course I'm more of a hobbyist, and just intrigued by all the outside plant. :) > > Any input or experiences with this appreciated.
