[1st-mile-nm] Pole Line Attachment Guide

[John Brown]

Not sure what point Richard is attempting to make.

All states that presently do not have a State level set of rules fall
under the Feds.

This however DOES NOT prevent New Mexico, or any other such state from
adopting their
own set of rules.

The challenge here in NM, is that pole owners have a history of

a) requiring NDA's and other such agreements to gag new attachers from
discussing something that is already open.
b) not wanting to engage
c) not willing to present a federally compliant attachment agreement.
d) not willing to present such agreement in a reasonable period of time
e) stalling (you could say thats (a) above.

In the end this leaves entrepreneurial businesses / new entrants  with
little to no chance of getting on the poles.
Effectively asserting a monopolistic control over the ability to
deploy affordable broadband
