As far as I know, most of the time you're going to need contractors
certified to work in AT&T's ducts and manholes anyway (or people
with requisite training to engineer the cabling for proper
anchoring, wind load, and other things on aerial cable). Most of
them are familiar with the ROW application process. If you don't
have people who are qualified to do the engineering to demonstrate
your cable won't unduly damage the poles, and has appropriate wind
load, you've got a lot of work and education ahead of you unless you
use a qualified contractor anyway.<br>
<br>
If you want to do your own, my suggestion is to have someone else do
your first set, and then you have a working copy of all the
paperwork and the complex processes necessary to make it all work.
In Michigan, for example, you also need permitting from the
municipality even though you're using the existing utilities
easement, which if you're a CLEC there's a process called the METRO
act that you go through that gives you basically rubber stamped
right of way access (you still need the pole attachments from the
ILEC, or the duct assignments).<br>
<br>
Additionally, if you're going aerial, you need to inspect the route
to ensure AT&T owns the poles you need access to. They can only
give you ROW on poles they own (I think joint use agreements count
here too) but if they lease the poles from the power company you
will have to work with them to get access as well.<br>

<div>Anyone familiar with doing all the paper work and design
