The Complexities of Pole Attachment Rates
Two recent news articles illustrate that pole attachment rental rates are not just a complex issue, it can be a rather "hot-button" topic as well.
- Kentucky PSC schedules conference in TVA pole rate preemption case
- Verizon, AT&T pension charges could impact poIte attachment fees
As these articles illustrate, it's an issue that can bog down the policies and procedures -- as well as the bottom line -- of Fortune 500 companies and statewide commissions. So it certainly can have an effect on municipalities, which are operating on far fewer human and financial resources.
