What license or permit is needed for my company to place telecommunications equipment in the public rights of way?
Cities require telecommunications service providers to obtain franchises or access agreements. These contain terms regarding compensation to the locality, security deposits, insurance and construction and relocation provisions. If your company leases facilities from a third party carrier, then that entity needs to be authorized to place the facilities in the rights of way. Under federal law, cities must treat all carriers on a non-discriminatory and competitively neutral basis.
