Maybe, then, power should shun AT&T and do the same thing to them, right?
That's a good idea.. any new attachment AT&T wants to do that requires them attaching an electric pole, the power company should sit on it for a year. See how fast AT&T cries foul.
While I agree with you on principle.. go underground.. I strongly disagree with you in reality.
AT&T has a responsibility to share the poles. If this were Comcast doing it, you'd be up in arms. (And yes, Comcast does own some poles)
This move on AT&T's part is a calculated move to force a competitor to spend themselves out of their project potentially derailing the efforts all together.
I seriously can't believe you'd support AT&T on this one and stand for it. AT&T is, as usual, snubbing their nose at this and pushing the limits.
In a case like this, I'd condemn those poles, take them with eminent domain punishing at&t for their failure to respond properly. |
