Yes that’s correct, however the definition of “reasonable” appears to have been decided to be “what they charge the other carriers, if anything”

>>> A few of the buildings that my firm represents have the local telco’s fiber distribution and/or repeater equipment located on the premises. My understanding is that when one of these links go down, (we’ve occasionally had to interrupt circuit power to do maintenance in a building for one reason or another), a local engineering tech always comes running to restore the link. The tech has led our maintenance staff to believe that these repeaters are an integral part of the local ring, which fits my understanding.

Any network equipment on site pre-dates my client’s ownership of the buildings, and they have no record of any agreements or easements governing who is responsible for power, maintenance, liability, etc.

I figure some of you may be able to give me an insight as to what is normal and reasonable. Feel free to contact me directly if this message is not suitable for this distribution list.
