One quick note: conduit on private property, such as the tail of a
telco conduit serving a small office complex, is almost always a
fixture of the property belonging to whoever owns the land. Even
though the telco installed it for free. It's just too expensive for
them to dot the i's and cross the t's legally when installing the
conduit tail, so they generally just do it realizing there's low odds
of anyone hijacking it from them.
