Not really. The parent to my original post identified a problem, but misdiagnosed the root cause and prescribed an incorrect solution. As noted above a lot of poles are owned by power companies that do not offer broadband service. Furthermore exclusive franchises have not been permitted for a good while anymore. Anybody with the correct permits can secure space on poles. This isn’t the issue. Part of the problems is how costs are assigned and how timely work progresses. Who owns the pole isn’t the big issue.
