Abstract Description: With so much state and federal funding devoted to broadband deployment, utility pole owners are
becoming inundated with requests to attach to their pole distribution systems, and they need to be
ready. This presentation will explain how utilities can (and do) cope with this flood of new requests, and
will recommend strong contract provisions and operational safeguards, all compliant with ever-changing
and evolving state and federal regulations.
