In some cases it's not laws but simple entrenched ownership. If Google wants to run fiber on existing poles, they run into blockades by the pole owners or lawsuits by competitors who don't even own the poles but who can find a technicality about getting permission from the pole owner. The old 'possession is 9/10ths' factor.
