Pole Attachments & Rights-of-Way
We are intimately familiar with U.S. federal and state pole attachment and right-of-way governance. Our Telecommunications Group has conducted in-depth analysis of the scope and applicability of the Pole Attachments Act, and has advised numerous utility clients on their rights and obligations with respect to current and prospective attachers. Our Firm has been highly involved in all phases of the pole attachment process, including: assessing and counseling clients on joint use issues, advocating our clients interests before the FCC and in court in pole attachment rulemaking proceedings, and representing utilities in pole attachment disputes before the FCC and in court.
Our Group has also worked closely with its clients to develop rates, terms and conditions for their pole attachment agreements. We are also well versed in performing rate reviews for pole attachments to ensure that our clients are maximizing their infrastructure leasing revenues. We have also assisted clients in accessing public rights-of-way for the installation of fiber optic cable, and have evaluated the scope and terms of utility rights-of-way and easements. Our Group also counsels utilities and other right-of way holders on the easement provisions of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984.
