Very interesting. WISPs can have it for the same franchise agreement that others use to get into the ROWs. My issue is that most poles here are to short for another player, namely, its setup for Power at the top, 3ft down to the LV stuff, 2ft down to phone, 6in to cable, and blamo no more room to add a cable run and stay above the road clearance. This means going underground and that adds a lot of expense, but mostly its the time that doing so takes. The place that I have a true hurdle is rail roads. 12K min PER crossing.
Yes I read the document and I do see how the wording could put WISPs at a disadvantage. I would like to hear from WISPs that have been denied ROW access because they were not cable/telco/etc. On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 1:34 AM, Jack Unger <jun...@ask-wi.com> wrote: > This week WISPA filed FCC Comments highlighting the deployment hurdles that > WISPs face that cable companies and telecommunications companies do not > face.
