Sure they can. They just can’t charge $10,000 for that work. It’s not like every power pole is a unique snowflake.

- specialist 8y agoWho are you to say what to charge, what is fair? What happened to charging what the market will bare, letting the market decide? If Verizon continues to pay $10,000 to use a city owned utility pole, then I'm pretty sure the price is right.
- hcurtiss 8y agoI'd refer you to the article. Generally speaking, it's not a market. You can't place these things on any property (public or private) without a city permit. And if you place it in a city right of way (e.g., a power pole), they gouge you even more with franchise fees. It's precisely because the city has absolute control that FCC involvement is necessary.
